My backyard squirrel.

Hop, hop, scamper, hop
Goes the little squirrel,
Looking in our backyard
For my little girl.

Out she comes fleet of foot
With her plastic cup
Full of nuts and pumpkin seeds
For the squirrel to sup.

Swish, swish, wiggle, wag
Goes his bushy tail,
Telling her in sign language,
"Next time bring a pail!"
