Dancing Squirrel
July 8, 2020

The squirrel danced atop our fence—
A picket fence—it made no sense.

But on he went, right down the line—
A Fred Astaire—but sciurine.*

And did he see me standing there
And dance along like Fred Astaire

Because he wished to prove to me
His vast superiority?

If so, he did it—dropped the mic.
I sold my car—and bought a trike.

*Yeah, sciurine [SY-u-rine] means like a squirrel.
