What's all of this ruckus
Going on in my back yard
Both the squirrels and the blue jays
Are hitting it pretty hard

They keep screaming at each other
Like some self made government
This ain't the way nature's supposed to behave
With no harmony in the mix

Is it to much to ask for
A little peace and tranquility
I think they need a mediator
Since they can't seem to agree

So I ask a passing possum
If it is he wouldn't mind
Help solve this little problem
To bring nature back in line

Both sides met together
The old stump a peace table of sorts
Where they all decided to get along
And once again be friendly cohorts

Now there's no more commotion
Life is back to where it all belongs
While the squirrels are playing with their nuts
The blue jays sing along in song
Ain't life grand!
