A Friendly squirrel? Ballad Narrative With a Shocking Twist
Would you care to read?
I met the world outside the womb
And in my heart I felt the beat
Took off my shoes and walked with whom?
A little squirrel next to my feet
He said, ‘have you, much to eat’?
I gave him nuts and mulberry
Then we took off down the street
And he took out a machete
*
I was shocked, so I grabbed my broom
Then he smiled and acted sweet
That’s when, I knew, he had more room
For food, in those chubby cheeks
‘You will be nice, no deceit’?
Those hands were bloody hairy
‘I promise to pay you in treats’
And he took out a machete
*
Thats when his friends starts to loom
Hanging down the tree they meet
Like a chain they swung to whom?
Into me, knocked down, fold my feet
All scratched, how bloody neat
These squirrels a hairy scary
I mock, ‘pay you back in treats’
And he took out a machete
**
‘Okay, I will give up my spoon’
This time I did not cheat
‘Please give me back my broom’
And in my heart I felt the beat
