Squirrelzilla
He scampers in our tree
Biggest damn squirrel
You ever did see
Chucks cones like a woodchuck would
Chitters like a buzz saw should
A bad ass gray
Who takes no guff
Stands his ground
Careless of “ruff”
He’ll take on all comers
Our Thriller in Manila
Our resident rodent
Squirrelzilla

HA! I don't think I'll ever get candy from a vending machine again. As for the obstacle course, Squirrelzilla would probably just knock the whole thing down and hold the dog for ransom.

Hey Eric, thanks for the far north support. I understand they breed them pretty big there in Canada. I think the one I got in the backyard is an immigrant, down for the winter.

the squirrel is mine enemy~~ I dodge them  when they cross in front of me while driving, but am never too sad when I see that others' weren't as lucky.

   they were very destructive in my porch roof last year

Fair enough nakedthoughts. The road of death is littered with the unwary. Thanks for looking in.

Yep! No doubt, because he runs a Streak up and down the fence line and jumps from tree to tree like Guitarzan. Nice reference there Amaryllis.

Humorous write this, Andrew. Squirrels can be outright nasty, reminds me of the ones which use to destroy our sparrow nests.

Prasad. Sparrows... kind of like crows... flying rats. But as I posted many moons ago... squirrels = rats in designer suits.
Truthfully, our family really likes squirrels. But we just have the one.

Dark Stranger... Ha! Ya, I never step outdoors unless I'm packin'. Nudge, nudge. Know what I mean?
