Notes About The Poem

MAD PERCUSSIONIST

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gus was a nut-hoarding squirrel obsessed with percussion,  
whose tail thumped trees in manic succession.  
  He woke the whole wood with a clamorous rap~
  till oak limbs collapsed mid-acorn-attack!
Gus grinned wild providing rhythmic-induced concussions.

Your percussion expert looks so clever and sweet. One of his friends does the same rhythmic beats in our house compound too on our jackfruit tree. :) A lovely limerick.

Playful exploits of the spirited sort that a limerick enthuses an arrested rest.
