Ode to Trash Squirrels
O trash squirrels
ravaging through rumbling rubbish
trash squirrels rabble,
rattle the trash can, rummage
O trash squirrels
clutching delectably rancid apples
in their fangs, scampering
away to eat in sunlight dapples
O trash squirrels
with your soft brown fur
so delicate
not like the other squirrels
O trash squirrels
who delight in fight
or maybe it’s play
it is joy to see you today
ravaging through rumbling rubbish
trash squirrels rabble,
rattle the trash can, rummage
O trash squirrels
clutching delectably rancid apples
in their fangs, scampering
away to eat in sunlight dapples
O trash squirrels
with your soft brown fur
so delicate
not like the other squirrels
O trash squirrels
who delight in fight
or maybe it’s play
it is joy to see you today
