Mr. Hiccups - The Squirrel with Hiccups!

This is a birthday present for my now 8 year old niece!! :) Yes, once upon a time a squirrel really did show up on my patio, I gave him peanut butter because I couldn't find any nuts, and he ate it so fast he got the hiccups. And yes, I named him Mr. Hiccups after that. And he comes by every day! (I keep nuts on hand for him now.) :) I apologize to everyone for having been absent so long. I will make a video soon telling you why! And I will also be sure to post a more "grown up" video soon. :) Thanks for all the support and for listening, I appreciate it so much!!! :) Here are the words: I was home alone, feeling a little bored When there was suddenly a knock on my patio door I looked through the glass, and what did I see But a cute lil' squirrel staring right back at me I opened the door and looked down at him When I asked what you want he gave a pitiful grin His eyes looked up, as he pointed at his gut And said, Please, human, all I want is just a nut A walnut, uuu, or even a brazil nut Please, oh puh-lease, all I want is just a nut A cashew nut, almond, pecan, or just a peanut Please, nice human, all I want is just a nut I said Please hold on, I'll see what I can find Cuz my mom always told me you've got to be kind He jumped up and down and flashed me a smile And nodded when I told him I'd be back in a while I rushed to the kitchen, opened the cupboard doors Trying to sort through all the food I had stored There was tuna, black olives, butter popcorn, and cheese But peanut butter was the closest thing to a nut I could see Peanut butter, oh peanut butter I'm sorry Mr. Squirrel, all I've got is peanut butter Peanut butter, oh, crunchy peanut butter I'm sorry Mr. Squirrel, all I've got is peanut butter I went back to tell him of my short supply He said he'd give crunchy peanut butter a try I set down his food and he began to dig in He was messy, peanut butter got all over his chin As I watched through the door, I started to crack up Cuz he ate so fast he got the hiccups! That's the story of how Mr. Hiccups got his name As he finished his meal, I heard him exclaim: Peanut butter, oh peanut butter What do you know, I love the peanut butter Peanut butter, oh, crunchy peanut butter Uuu,eee!, I love the peanut butter © 2009 by Amy Treadwell
