Caught Red Pawed

A squirrel collecting some corn, Now is wishing he’d never been born. Caught himself in a trap, The door shut with a snap; Now he sits there hungry and forlorn!

Hee...Around here, most people take them and let'em loose on the campus. Over there, they get very friendly; I've seen students holding wild squirrels and feeding them french fries and such. I think they prefer the campus, anyway. Thanks again.

When caught red handed, one should bend to fate! Funny, amazing and deep! A brilliant unique Limerick M.L. Kiser! Keep shining. Best regards.

Well I can't really begrudge him for wanting food...even though him and his friends eat all of my sugar pears. Thanks again.

Awww....I have three live traps. I catch all kinds of varmints, and lug the trap as far as I can. The next night they are back in the trap.
