A poem

I read a lovely poem today and thought I would share it on my blog.
It is called 'To a Squirrel at Kyle-na-no' and was composed by the Irish poet, W.B.Yeats:

Come play with me;
Why should you run
Through the shaking tree
As though I'd a gun
To strike you dead?
When all I would do
Is to scratch your head
And let you go.

I always think that such gentle poems are best.
