American Migrant

The American migrant bounds along like a bouncing ball along the wobbly suburban fence,  

before climbing the nearest tree like a grey helix, leaping into the drizzled drenched foliage.

Some dislike its ubiquity and its imperialist approach towards our more attractive patriotic 

bushy tail red squirrel, as though the American greys torture the reds to death over fires. 

Our red has been fighting back with our support in attack in favoured parts of our island, 

as elsewhere the commonality of the American grey and its acrobatic antics everyday 

brings a smile on this drizzling, damp morning -  so welcome Yankee doodle dandy.
