A chipmunk called Roger lives under our step
And he’s lived there for such a long time
Nobody knows him apart from us
So he asked me to write you this rhyme
He’s as cute as a button when he comes out to feed
Once weekly we give him a treat
He gets sunflower and millet and all types of nuts
And he picks the food up with his feet
Julie our doggie is NOT his best friend
And Lucy our cat is MUCH worse
As soon as he sees her he runs to his nest
To avoid being her dinner, of course
He sleeps through the winter and snores very loud
So we put a cork in his front door
It softens the noise and keeps the snow out
After all, what are friends for?
