Ode to a Squirrel
Most of my poems are from what can best be described as my "Blue Period", aka "The Dark Year of the Restless Soul".

Ode To a Squirrel
It sure looks like fun
Poised in the trees
Lord and master
Of all that you see
Seems like you always
Do as you please
Sometimes I wonder
Do you get fleas?
Flitting and flirting
From this limb to that
A gymnast, a tumbler
One great acrobat
You make all that danger
Look like old hat
Sometimes I wonder
Will you go Ker-Splat!
I could an actor
Or maybe an Earl
A millionaire rock star
Surrounded by girls
Of all the wild things
To do in this world
Some days I'd rather
Just be like that squirrel!
