Here in the trees hidden in the dark
I lie in wait for the dreaded foe,
I keep my eye on the garden gate
If I don’t, he may slip by real slow.
With my trusted pistols in my hand
I’m determined, a hit I will get
And although he won’t get killed
I’m darn sure he’ll be good n wet!
The plague of the feeders is whom I want,
That pesky squirrel is the one I seek
I’m fed up of his sneaky ways,
Just once, I want to hear him squeak!
If I don’t do something, he will drive me nuts!
But I can’t just let him have his way.
It’s a war I can’t win, of that there's no doubt,
But this battle belongs to me! So varmint pray!

Thank you Shades, it's just a bit of fun, but I'm glad you liked it.. :)
Excellent! And it reminds me of the squirrel wars Dan and Biscuit had last summer. I cannot wait for them to begin again.
I've been to two blogs this morning and read two poems. I feel one a brewin.
Thanks for your visit Zirelda, glad you like.
Good luck with your brew, hope it comes to the boil. :D
The squirels can be a pain at times. :)
Excellent mate. wonderful poem
Eric - priceless; first good laugh I've had all day. I know one person who hung her bird feeders on greased poles - that fooled em!
Thank you kind sir & for dropping by.. Hope things are ok with you Augs and the kids are over their illness.. :)
Hi Julie,thank you it's always nice to please with my work.. nice of you to call in. :)
I had friends who had a feeder in the centre of a washing line ~ Darned if the pests didn't do a high wire act with that one. LOL
When I first saw your photo I was wondering how it would tie in to your post today. Very creative and very enjoyable not to mention quite humourous!
London, Ontario ... I have always loved that city!
Take care! :-)
Hi Dave, welcome to my place, it's good to see new people visiting here, do come again.
Glad you enjoyed the satire, and yes the pest does drive me nutz at times, but hey! we all have to live including him, right! :)
Very well written..
God bless you Eric!
Take care
Thank you Samrina.
God Bless.. :)
The poor little creature! lol
Nice to see your lion settled in here, Eric, and I love the new banner at the top! :-)
Hi Seamus, nice seeing you, thanks, but the creature lives & multiplys still.
Yes the Lion is settling in nicely, I still have work to do, but we are at least, still functional my friend. :)
Glad you like the Banner. :)
