Killing Two Birds

Today’s a day to celebrate
But most do not observe;
It’s Squirrel Appreciation Day,
Which they don’t quite deserve.

Just rodents with appealing tails,
They’re tricky birdseed thieves
And once a squirrel finds your yard,
He never really leaves.

It’s also National Hug Day,
Named in 1986.
To honor both these holidays,
You might be in a fix.

Yet here’s a good solution –
If a squirrel is in sight,
Just grab his tail and give a hug
But careful – he may bite!
