Today is squirrel appreciation day. Oh boy, do we appreciate it?
Ode to the squirrel!
I walked outside and what did I see
But a furry grey squirrel just starring at me
I moved a bit closer to see if he’d run
But he just sat still, oh boy this was fun
I crept a bit closer to see what he’d do
Then all of a sudden here came his whole crew
About ten squirrels came down from the trees
They all started snapping and bending their knees
Then one squirrel yelled Come on let’s attack!
I started to run but kept looking back
I thought to myself this must be a dream, squirrels
Can’t come up with this kind of scheme
I am the chaser they not supposed to chase me
Then into the house I went, to get free!
I was panting for I was out of breath
The squirrels they surprised me and scared me to death
The squirrels all stopped right outside my door
To look at them closer I sat on the floor.
For I knew I was safe behind the sturdy screen
Then one squirrel spoke up in a squeaky squirrel voice
We wanted to like you but you gave us no choice
Every day you come out here and chase us away,
When all were doing is trying to make are own way,
In the forest we go in search of some food
Then out you come running and ruin are mood
So please don t chase us, please leave us alone
Will gather are things then quickly scurry home
We wanted to scare you for you to feel our pain
Trust us were nice we have nothing to gain
I said I was sorry, no more squirrels would I chase
I’ll never forget the happy look on all the squirrels face
He said thank you, then the rest of them said it too
Then off they went all the whole crew.
But I was telling a fib that is for sure
Tomorrow I will just chase a little bit more.
Be afraid........be very afraid!

ReplyDeleteWally & Sammy

Waggin at ya,

You sure are sneaky, Wally! The squirrel gang might not stop at the door the next time!
ReplyDeleteDang those squirrels! Where did they get all that ammo?
ReplyDeleteThe circus looks like it will be fun!
Lovies, Miss Mindy
This circus sounds interesting - will go and investigate. I love the squirrel poem - and the idea of the wind attack - excellent surprise tactic. Ambercat uses it when she doesn't want us to move her off the chair and it always makes us go away. Betty
ReplyDeleteFirst I was afraid bad things were happened to you for saying sorry to the squirrel-squad... but at the end I was glad - that's Molly as we know her ;o)
ReplyDeleteOh we appreciate squirrels...believe us!
ReplyDeletethe brown dawgs
MOL MOL MOL

Smoochie kisses

OMD. Miz Molly, we all know that squirrels are conniving and are a suspicious lot! YOU FIRE UP THE SYSTEMS and plan a frontal attack or rather, a REAR ATTACK! TRUST NO ONE with a fat furry little body who carries a weapon!!!!!!! I reserved my ticket! SEE YOU THERE! Anita
ReplyDeleteThose are some scary *ss squirrels,Molly! Better not let Puddles see them. And yes, I definitely want my fortune read!
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
Those are very scary squirrels, indeed! We have grey sqirrels here now too but they don't carry weapons. Thank goodness! I'd have to be way more careful 'round them if they did. purrs
ReplyDeleteOh Molly, that kinda brought a tear to our eyes. Such a beautiful poem. I'd be very afraid of those Rambo Squirrels.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Lily Belle & Muffin
LOVE the squirrel poem! Molly, you're really quite poetic.
ReplyDeleteI might have to be a circus performer - will look into that!
your pal,
Garth
All three of us need our fortunes told my the great Molly the Wally! You pick which manner would suit each of us ebst!

ReplyDelete~Eva
Great job with the squiggles Molly!
ReplyDeleteI'd love my fortune told. Maybe the crystal ball? Thx
Those are some scary looking squirrels. What a nice poem you wrote. I'm glad you came around to the squirrel chasing side at the end.
ReplyDeleteMillie
Molly those SQUIRRELS are the SCARIEST thingys WE ever have seen.
ReplyDeleteWe can't wait to have you read OUR fortunes!!!
SQUIRRELS! i think some of them de-legged my Cheeto. Not appreciated at all.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Goose
Dang, I hate it I missed Squirrel Appreciation Day, butnI had impawtant visitors! That Circus sounds like funbut when I first read the line up I thought it said Puddles was doing the Drunk Tank!
ReplyDeleteYou gave ode to squirrels really Molly! I got to go buy my tickets so you can tell me my fortune, it better be a real fortune. Your crystal ball better be warmed up.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a friend
Sweet William The Scot
I showed Honey how you're supposed to use a frisbee but she didn't understand. I think she's a puppy pacifist. She only wants squirrels to be her friend.
ReplyDeleteGood thing Molly is on the job or the world would be overrun with the things.
squirrel kharma!
ReplyDeleteI am super mad at squirrels right now. They won't let me chase them at all.
ReplyDeleteNora
BOL, Molly - you had us worried for a sec there that you were seriously going to make nice with the evil critters. Luckily for us they don't come around too much because our trees are small and they don't have any nuts:)
ReplyDeleteWoos - Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
We are glad there aren't many squirrels around here. We did not know they had such sophisticated weaponry! Thanks for letting us know.
ReplyDeleteKeep Calm & Bark On
Murphy & Stanley
How exciting, Molly!
ReplyDeleteHow do I pay in pounds sterling, I don't do dollars!
Like your post, did the poem actually happen?
Pip :)
Squirrels are evil, but we do appreciate them (on a bun with mustard!)
ReplyDeleteWyatt and Stanzie
Love it Molly, I've never chased a squirrel before but I know your an expert at it :) have a wonderful Monday xx00xx
ReplyDeleteMollie and Alfie
So THAT is what frisbees are for! LOL! Can't wait for the circus!
ReplyDeleteYay!
Hugs,
I will never be able to look at a squirrel the same way again...
ReplyDeleteSo much is happening,, I do not know where to begin.
ReplyDeletelove
tweedles
Wow, that was quite some poem Molly, you are a veritable genius!
ReplyDeleteLove the squirrel pictures.
Can't wait for you to tell our fortunes!
Dip Bridge and Elliot x
Hey Molly,
ReplyDeleteThat was the longest squirrel poem I have ever read. You could do a few more like that and make a book! Oh, it would sell, I am sure! Good luck, girl . .
Kisses,
Stella, Jo and Zkhat
Those are some BAD-ASS squirrels. Boy, we're glad we don't have them in Oz!
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
That poem is AMAZING!! I've gots to say though i would be pretty worried if i seen that many squirrels, love the pictures!!
ReplyDeleteLove Milo :)
I love the squirrel poem and pictures but I am glad you are still chasing them. Just because they can rhyme does not make them truthworthy
ReplyDeleteGreat poem Molly...no way we stop chasing squirrels...they torture me by sitting outside my window where I can see them and they chatter away at me knowing i can't get out...grrr...i wanna put the bitey on them so bad...don't ever give up the chase
ReplyDeleteYour poem was most excellent.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Blogville has all sorts of big things coming up!

Critter Alley
Wow that squirrel with the big teeth was SCARY!!! We had one this spring had the nerve to come right up on our deck railing!! THE NERVE!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the circus!!
hugs
Bailey, Hazel & Greta
oh my CAT! First...those squirlz are VISHUS, they are!! Second...a BIG TOP TENT? We're totally there for the FOODABLES, but we hasta admit, clowns skeery us just a teensy bit...!
ReplyDeleteSquirrels bad. Circus Good! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteMolly, I wouldn't let Wrigs read this post because I don't want him to have nightmares about squirrels coming for him! Scary stuff! The circus sounds like lots of fun for a good cause.
ReplyDeleteSusan and Wrigs
Oh Mollie! I am scared of squirrels. Can you believe that some people owned them as PETS? The people that owned them were even more crazy than the squirrels themselves. There were only three animals I wore leather gloves when handling and one of them was squirrels! They are insane! I used to get so nervous when "Bucky" came to the clinic for dental work...
ReplyDeletethose squirrels are nutty!
ReplyDeleteSnorts,
Benny & Lily
Squirrel appreciation day?? Yea right!! Just let them try to come near us. We'll get them little mothers!!
ReplyDeleteMolly, you have to be kidding me with the squirrel appreciation day. I appreciate how good they taste in my pizza BOL. If you dead any, can you please pack them in ice and send to me. I need them for my foodables tent for the circus.
ReplyDeleteMay I please have my fortune read?? I would love to use the crystal ball.
Thanks
Loveys Sasha
Wow look at all those squirrels you got, way to go
ReplyDeleteurban hounds
LMAO Happy squirrel appreciation day! You go get those squirrels! Thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteMolly,
ReplyDeleteYou nearly had me fooled there buddy!! Can't believe you took them out with a fart, maybe I'll try that, though I hardly ever fart….
Your Squirrels look even scarier than mine, the ones here in California sit in my tree (yes I claimed it) and throw things at me - how rude!!
Good luck,
Your pal Snoopy :)
We knew you wouldn't let them deter you Molly no matter how sad their story. Might want to watch out for the one in the flack jacket and the vampire.
ReplyDeleteKitty Kisses,
Cindi Lou & The Kitty Krew
We think that farting and deading a few tree rats is the PERFECT way to appreciate them.
ReplyDeleteNow give us a few cans of beans to get primed!!
(Great post... our mom is LOL'ing)
