The Blue Furry Squirrel

I was sitting under a huge oak tree,
                               
with a cool breeze covering over me.
                               
What did I just see,
                                                       
oh no are my eyes deceiving me.
                                   
A blue furry squirrel made a pass,
                                 
he is scampering across the pink grass.
                           
Watching and waiting so calm,
                                       
was my neighbor's cat Tom.
                                           
I wonder why~why,
                                                       
is Tom wearing a big top hat so high.
                               
Tom waved to me,
                                                         
then took off after the blue furry squirrel like a bee.
         
The blue furry squirrel ran so fast,
                                   
flames came from his furry tail with a blast.
                   
The chase was on~Tom ran so fast,
                                 
he lost his big top hat as he passed.
                               
The blue furry squirrel was frightening,
                         
as he was up a tree like lightning.
                                   
Tom just sat there staring,
                                             
looking up at the tree and barking.
                                 
I have now seen it all,
                                                   
a blue furry squirrel~pink grass~a cat wearing a big top hat~flames from a furry tail~a cat barking~now for the final call.
                   
I have not been drinking,
                                               
since I do not drink~maybe I was over thinking.
             
Maybe just maybe I was sleeping,
                                   
or was I just daydreaming.

This poem was funny! We have a pug, the neighbors a new cat, a dozen squirrels, and always deer in the yard, with who I have a love-hate relationship. It's like Wild Kingdom. It would be fun to put animated characters in your poem. I could see it as I read. One of my favorite lines, begins: "I have not been drinking.." This poem is funny silly fun! I'm so glad I found it. I loved it.
