Earl the Squirrel
Earl the Squirrel
On a big island, far from the city,
Lived a squirrel named Earl, who was lively and witty.
Each day he'd leap from tree to tree,
Hopping on windows, curious and free.
Earl peered through windows, looking for cheer,
Hoping a friend would one day appear.
One bright day, after hopping for miles,
He found a girl named Macy with the brightest of smiles.
Macy saw Earl and giggled with glee—
A friend she’d wanted as much as could be!
At first, Earl dashed and hid from sight,
But soon returned to her window each night.
Day by day, Earl would scurry and squeal,
Macy would chatter, their friendship was real.
One sunny day, with a grin so wide,
She named him "Earl!" and he squeaked with pride. "Mom, Earl the Squirrel is here at last!"
Each morning they'd laugh as the hours passed.
Earl loved Macy, her stories, her song—
They’d talk and play all the day long.
Then one night, Macy heard the news:
They’d soon be moving, and felt the blues.
She worried for Earl, her special friend,
And feared their visits would come to an end.
Day after day, they shared one last giggle,
Macy would laugh, and Earl’s tail would wiggle.
Then one day, he didn’t appear,
And Macy missed him, her heart filled with fear.
On moving day, she waited and sighed,
Hoping to see Earl just one more time.
Then, at the window, to her surprise,
There was Earl with bright, sparkling eyes! But this time, Earl wasn’t alone—
A baby squirrel had joined her, full-grown!
Macy gasped with joy, her worry now done,
For Earl had found a friend—a little one.
With a hug from her mom, Macy laughed with glee,
Realizing Earl was a “she!” all along, you see.
So they waved goodbye, and Macy felt bright,
Knowing her friend would be alright.
As they drove away, with a final glance back,
She whispered, "Goodbye, my friend, don’t lack."
And there on the island, happy and free,
Earl the Squirrel lived on, with her new family.
