Squirrels Go Nuts
The backyard squirrels are spooked,
there's a hawk around.
A cat creeps up on them
just as slow and quiet as a snail.
The squirrels are no dopes,
they see the hawk and the cat,
they understand that danger
is a kind of fun.
Looking for nuts and squirrelly sex,
are not all there is to life in the wild.
Unfortunately
the cat and the hawk know this as well.
