Squirrels Need More Dough Two fighting squirrels spread seeds deep of dread As onward spite bleeds the forest bed red. Tucked deer and geese cede to their dying creed Taking speed pass tufts of fur crying heed. O forest clones, thus breeds beauty not weed For ugly head's absence of breaking bread. 4/26/17 27 roses placed. None for Connie.
