Cleaning up further after a squirrel visit ...

Came across a lone nut where he did sit
(Must have had it in his mouth when he fell
Down chimney into the hearth ... pell-mell)

Along with many other not so welcome sights
In amongst the cobwebs ... it was quite a fright
For dampness to the left of the chimney flue
Has created quite a nasty mess, making me blue

Perhaps, it's just as well a squirrel came to roost
For now, I've become more aware that a boost
Is needed to fix some of the problems maintaining
A lovely house in which I do no real entertaining
