Squirrel and Acorn

Where's that nut
I hid in the fall?
Bad news!
Bad news!
Can't recall.
Must think.
Try hard.
Somewhere
In the yard.
Look here,
Look there,
Bad news!
Nowhere!
                                I'm here
                                Below,
                                Just under the
                                Snow,
                                Off to his
                                Right --
                                Well out of
                                Sight.
                                He can't
                                Recall?
                                Then I'll
                                Grow tall.
                                Could be a
                                Tree.
                                Good news!
                                Good news!
                                Good news
                                For me!
