Once upon a time there were two jolly squirrels.
Sometimes they quarrelled
as all squirrels do,
but mostly they were happy
as Jolly, Happy squirrels.The squirrels lived simply and measly
with a pet they named Narby.
While Jolly worked tenaciously
so that nobody starved,
Happy made sure their nest
was very clean and tidy.One day Jolly said to Happy,
“Why is your fur so fluffy?
Have you eaten all our food?”
Already in a bad mood,
Happy became Angry.
And so began another quarrel
between two loony squirrels.They were calling names
and nasty words flew.
Angry went up in flames
and asked the Racoons
to throw Jolly out
as far as the moon.There were times when the squirrels
didn’t always quarrel.
But for the sake of Narby,
maybe there was a chance
when things would be happy
again as jolly, happy squirrels.
