Squirrel Sets Up His Office
Gus squirrel set up his office in the top of the walnut tree.
He wanted to sell his advice, nothing would be given free.
There was a cheer through the forest; a lawyer in the family!
This was from his cousins, a grandpa, two uncles and an auntie.
I have to bill you, he told them. My education cost me a lot.
They got irritated and called him names including big blot.
His mother said “don’t worry, there are others to fill in their spot”
Many cancelled their appointments and said “you can rot!”
“I am sorry,” he told them. “I don’t have a choice. I have to charge.”
They were angry about it, especially his grandma Fluffy Tail Marge.
She held a protest. The family said, “Why would you charge us?”
“Because a lawyer’s education is expensive,” said that squirrel, Gus.
