A Sguirrel Named Merl

" How do you do?" "My name is Merl." I'm not a tree rat; I'm a squirrel. To hunters, I'm screamin, "Please eat more chicken!" "Never mind, you shoot like a girl." I should build my nest in a tree but your attic looks better to me. A fight? It's your call. I'm a little buzz saw. Remember; nuts are my favorite treat!
