LIFE IN ACORNISTAN

LIFE IN ACORNISTAN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There once was a brown-haired squirrel named Stan,
the charismatic, electrifying mayor of Acornistan.
   His fur held a most strange zap
   “We’ve got to do something ASAP!”
His advisor suggested, “Call in the g-man.”

They summoned a blind man from Bhutan
‘You’re fur’s gotta go,’ he said, his face deadpan.
      ‘But like Samson, I’ll lose my power
     To this static I shall never cower!
You’ve got to have another gameplan.”

‘Maybe some crème rinse or a bit of Dippity-Do*
will eliminate the static from your furry ‘do.’
     ‘Dippity Do,’ Stan exclaimed.  “Just who are you?
     Go back to Bhutan, you silly man. Shoo! Shoo!’
‘Stan decreed. ‘No static in Acornistan. Static adieu, adieu!’

Hilarious and delightfully zany, Stan’s adventures make Acornistan feel like a world where humor and imagination rule!
