IDDY BIDY

My little darling Iddy Bidy friend
He entertains me everyday
As I watch him from my window
While he's eating or at play

I am sending you his picture
So you can see how cute he is
If I get too close to the window
He disappears like a whiz

Family and visitors have seen him
And they all say "AW" he's adorable
No sense in my trying to tame him
He is definitely true blue INCORRIGIBLE.


That hard to say word in capital letters
Describes me, also, to a tee
Once you get to know me better
You would definitely agree.

Iddy Bidy and I go together
Just like two peas in a pod
Ask all my family members
In agreement they will NOD!

Lively and speedy critters, chipmunks are small members of the squirrel family. Their pudgy cheeks, large, glossy eyes, stripes, and bushy tails have made them a favorite among animators, and landed them a series of starring roles in Hollywood.
