Squirrel-Punzel, Squirrel-Punzel

I was watching for hummingbirds when I saw the squirrel leap right up onto the deck railing. He showed off his beautiful, long tail; the longest I've ever seen on a squirrel, to be honest. 

He strutted, he preened, he practically danced. He walked like a dinosaur, or maybe more like an Egyptian. And finally, he leapt off the deck, in the end, and into a nearby tree. Farewell for now, Long-Tail!

Our soundtrack song is the Queens of the Stone Age, with If I Had a Tail.
