John Lawless Poet Rhyme

For fluffy tails may tempt a wily minx

When’ e’er I look upon the squirrel’s plight
I think, perhaps, he should be given flight
So he could join the mob in warmer climes

But then a raged furry coat and tail
In Florida could land a squirrel in jail
For stealing ice to cool Corona limes

For fluffy tails may tempt a wily minx
To ask the grayish snow bird what he thinks
About the Penguin acting like a Mime

For squirrels, it seems, have knowledge of such stuff
And have been known to call a Penguins bluff
By telling them such acts should be a crime

Replied the Penguin in a voice quite grim
“I do think that your tail could use a trim”
Said the squirrel “then that minx would be mine”

Lin Lane January 25, 2024 at 4:32 PM You've touched a lot of bases in this one, John. I got the Charlie Chaplin penguin vibe. Trying to picture a penguin as a barber... not sure a minx would like the looks of that squirrel after having his fluffy tail sheared. Your sense of humor is appreciated.
