Squirreled Away
They come, these varmint showers,
needless interruptions of a focused chore
driving the unprepared to seek distant cover
lest a “bad hare day” dampen their resolve.
One cannot choose fresh fashion
while making deals with purple pilferage.
Mock the doused dismay of fleeing style.
Tis said that I am vain and primp too much
strutting as I go about my tasks
and yet few know the truth of my obsession
the goal of making sure my nuts stay dry.
