~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Four furry silhouettes, whiskers twitching, huddle around a cardboard grid~ Four acorn tokens clatter on the board. Dew-damp grass stains the Baltic Avenue deed. A whiskered snout nudges Community Chest~ Winter stores secured beneath oak bark. Four paws grip the dice cup tight and shake. Electric Avenue mortgaged for one nut. Tail-flicks trace railroads, Park Place dreams Shatter as a crow steals the top hat piece. Four bushy strategists stare at Free Parking. Rain begins its raid on Marvin Gardens. The dice roll forgotten, they scatter skyward~ Squirrelopoly unfinished beneath gathering clouds.
