In the forest, where squirrels play,
A financial revolution came one day.
No more hoarding acorns, they said,
Let's share our branches instead!

Shared branching, oh shared branching,
Among the leaves, our joy keeps advancing.
From oak to birch, we'll build a Credit Union-tree,
Where acorns and branches interlock and span!
