Little Red

The all too common American squirrel can become quite whimsical in the random coloration of their normally grayish hides. Some are attired in formal black, some in a fetching Albinus white, and every shade in-between. Little red, unlike those rare British squirrels (which are naturally red and fluffy), displayed an unusual coat of a fetching russet hue, which many noticed complemented well any autumnal season. Sad to say, yesterday a hawk got him. His remembrance service will be held next Wednesday at eleven-thirty a.m. at Jake's gastro-bar and grill, A light Rosea will be served. Mourners are suggested to wear (as a gesture of respect), a boutonniere or other small reminiscence - something a little red.
