Solace ... Darn!

Today’s word is “solace” ... something that gives comfort, consolation, or relief. (Dictionary.com)

Darn!
All my tulips have been nibbled,
Just the blossoms fallen down,
The squirrel’s test one, then another,
Then reject them with squirrelly frowns.

Just as they open they are struck,
The ground is petalled, colored yellow,
My only solace is ‘round the corner,
Three not discovered by those fellows!
