A Bit Squrrelly

A Bit Squirrely

The tiny little acorn strike
Laid waste my empty mind
Sending me upon a trip
Out through space and time

When I returned to find myself
Buried deep in acorns round
Was it laughter that I heard
Or a squirrels chattering sound

Squirrelly creatures! I have been hit with acorns, pecans and once even a bone! Up until then I didn't know squirrels would gnaw on bones, but they do and they will laugh at you when they hit you. *LOL* Respectfully, Rett: "For all you Scrooges who don't like Santa Clause or the true meaning of Christmas, BAH HUMBUG!For the rest, Merry Christmas!"

Thank you Janice

I appreciate it. I complain about the squirrels, but I get a kick out of watching them. Even if they do dig up my yard hunting pecans and acorns. Back where i grew up the city park has a large population of albino squirrels. Pure white or whitish gray. Odd looking, but pretty.

short and powerful. Blast those squirrels, they are too fast they get withing 2 feet of the dog to eat their acorns and she gave up chasing them. She knows they will escape wave their tails and bicker. Big teases, Patty

That's the truth

I have 2 cats that are mighty hunters though. One will actually stalk them in the big Live Oak trees and catches one every once in a while. She is the grey. The big Orange guy we have has a different approach. He lays on his back at the bottom of the trees and pretends to be asleep or dead and waits. Invariably one will get brave enough to come down almost on top of him and the fight is on! *LOL* Respectfully, Rett: "For all you Scrooges who don't like Santa Claus or the true meaning of Christmas, BAH HUMBUG!
