Intro
Berry cakes cooled in a row.
Tiny bites appeared below.
Verse 1
Curved crumbs crossed the counter high.
Little dog could not reach by.
At the window, screen was loose.
Gray fur offered one more clue.
Chorus
Check the reach, the tracks, the marks.
Clues connect like little parts.
Keep food covered, clean the place.
Solve with kindness, not a chase.

Squirrel held a wrapper near.
Two small tooth marks matched up clear.
Toss exposed cakes, wash the tray.
Fix the screen before more play.

Helped explain each tiny clue.
