The Acorn Quest

Written for Sunday Whirl Wordle.
Here are Brenda’s prompt words:

anchor, search, moment, laugh, find, inhibits,
comfort, always, want, squirrel, spaz, auto

A squirrel set off on a frantic search
For an acorn he’d hidden somewhere by the church.
He’d dropped a pine cone as an anchor, you see,
But the wind rolled it off to some other tree.

He zigzags the street like a caffeinated spaz,
Dodging each auto with daring pizzazz.
The honking of horns? It inhibits him not;
When a squirrel’s in want, he gives all that he’s got.

At last, in a moment of glorious luck,
He spies his lost prize by the wheel of a truck.
With a laugh, he declares as he settles to dine,
“I can always find comfort in these acorns so fine!”
