The Ballad of Nemo and the Squirrels

I’m a devoted watchdog, valiant and kind                                                                                                                    But squirrels in my back yard cause me to lose my mind

They skitter up the maple, they chatter and they scold                                                                                                   The awful names they call me would make your blood run cold.

They are, of course, mere cowards, they’re brave up in the tree                                                                                 They won’t fight on my level ’cause they’re afraid of me.

I cannot climb the maple so I stand guard below                                                                                                           Until, bored with the stand-off, I nobly let them go.

  1. Blanche, this is great! Perfect picture with poem, too! : )

    • Thanks so much, Fran. It’s good to hear from you. Yes, those squirrels are the bane of Nemo’s life, but he gets a secret pleasure from chasing them!
