Sharing Spaces
by Marilyn Mackenzie


Little squirrel within my wall
I really think you’re cute and all
But must we share this house of mine?
And can’t it be a tree you climb,

Instead of bouncing on my roof?
Your “scritch, scritch, scritch” is plenty proof
That you are where you shouldn’t be
You’re in my wall and not a tree.

My house, it is my habitat
My house, it’s also where you’re at.
I know you’re cute, but please just go.
You keep me awake with your to and fro.

What is that you said to me?
You’re not a squirrel? What can you be?
Little animal within my house…
What are you then? Oh no, a mouse!
