Notes About The Poem

TAIL-TUFTED STEED

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There once was a pumpkin-spiced squirrel Edwina, quite stout Who on Halloween did shout, "I'll be airborne, no doubt!" With a whisk-twitch squirrelly spell She rode her broomstick quite well— Over the forest and thereabouts, anywhere, her favorite route. Her panadas stash fueled her yearly, shadowy flight, As she zipped through the oak-shadows until daylight Upon her tail-tufted steed— She was a magnificent rodent indeed!— Edwina owned the sky, the corvids scattering in sheer, nutty fright.
