Tale of a Squirrel's Tail There once was a very impudent squirrel pretending to be an innocent girl she wore a blonde wig tried to act so big dancing and prancing, giving life a whirl One day I caught her peeping at my sill gave me an evil eye...if looks could kill shot back with a frown had to take her down I'll get that meddlesome squirrel. Yes, I will She's not naive like sweet lil Goldilocks but was wily like a devious fox no porridge she'd find I spanked her behind with the heel of my brand new rubber crocs She screamed at me until her face turned blue "I'll get even with you, before I'm through!" Oh, she is quite nuts She limps 'steada struts Whiney baby was crying, "Boo hoo hoo." She cursed naughty words and off she scurried Twitching her bushy tail as she hurried I'd no cause to fret Rodent trap was set Tonight I'll feast on squirrel that's been curried ^..^ ^..^ 4/27/17 For Jan Allison syllables of 10-10-5-5-10

This made me lol Lin especially as we have no squirrels on our little Island, they are considered to be vermin and if they were introduced they would destroy the eco system here:-)I'm having a curry meal for my wedding anniversary treat from mum I will double check to make sure squirrel isn't on the menu as it's a new restaurant we have never been to before:-) many congrats on your win:-) hugs Jan xx

What a picture I have in my mind right now. My dogs love chasing squirrels, I wonder what they'd think of one in a blonde wig. :) Cute and funny Lin.

They'd probably turn tail and run unless they're color blind. Thanks ever so much, Chris.
