We're all packed up
ready to go frolick
along the beach,
sand pails, shovels,
blanket and sun tan lotion.

Stop at the store
to grab a package of gum
we are almost there,
unpack the car and
head down the trail.

We had just opened
the package of gum,
there were only
five pieces missing,
we spread the blanket out
let the kids take
their toys and
went down to the water.

We decided to play frisbee,
so we walked up the
beach on the boiling hot sand.

It didn't take long,
before we noticed
our little furry friend,
that was chatting up a storm
behind us down the trail,
had come over to the log
where we placed our
gum, keys and sun tan lotion.

The dang chipmunk
stole our package of gum
and took off
running the other way.

My husband and I laughed
and hoped the gum
got stck to his a$$hole
on the way out.
