billy and earl

billy bluejay stellar

and earl squirrel brown

lived in murphy's walnut trees

far above the ground

earl was a workaholic,

gathering night and day

while billy was a lazy cuss 

stealing where he may

                                                              earl squirrel found each nut

and buried them for later

but jay would follow, dig them up

and take them,  leaving craters

jay'd drop the nuts from way  up high

and listen to them crack!
then fly down to the open nut
 and eat them with a grrack!         chkchkchkchkchkchkchk.

                                                      earl squirrel ran in the road

(poor thing was such a clutz)
he died that day and mean old jay

cried 'blast! i'm outta nuts!"
