Squirrels (A Parody)

I think the squirrels have gone crazy.
They sit and flash their nuts at me.

Their nuts are stolen from my feeder.
Damn them! They’re just little cheaters.

They wait and sit on furry butts
so they can come and steal my nuts.

They are courageous, they don’t scare.
They make me want to pull my hair.

So whether sun or rain or storm
they’ll rue the day that they were born.

I’ll sit and pretend a poem to write
until I get them in my sights!

    You are mean!
    Look at that cute face, who would ever want to fill it full of lead?!

    You must have some very strange squirrels, mine just flash their tails.

    Be careful, they may be smarter than you think...be a shame to become squirrel fodder
    Very mean, but funny parody! Well done.

    Very amusing, I love puns espically of the slightly off color persusion.

    They are pesky those tree dwelling rats. Everyone gets all mawkish because they have bushy tails. All they do is eat, breed and plant killer oak trees Their nests are a messy disgrace that bring down property values for nesting birds. Good on Ya'. Keep them in your sights.

    Why are your nuts in the feeder!

    Oh! those nuts...never mind.

    What? You are gonna blow those cute little fellas away! I'm horrified! I wonder what a squirrel tastes like...

    Oh don't know, look at him in the photo, how cute he is...I think I'll put out a bird feeder just so I can look at the squirrels.
