True Lies

I was sitting in the park one day in the shade underneath a tree When I saw this little squirrel come up and sit right next to me I watched it sit there for a while then I offered it some bread He looked around then looked at me 'no thanks' I thought he said I knew I must be hearing things so I said 'say that again' He said 'I said no thank you' and I about jumped out my skin Squirrels aren't suppose to talk or at least that's what I thought But he asked me for a cigarette and said that'd mean alot I thought, this can't be happening it had to be some kind of joke But I was sure I heard this little squirrel just ask me for a smoke So I gave the squirrel a cigarette then sat and watched in awe When he was done he told me thanks and stuck out his little paw I shook his paw and left the park I'm not sure if he's still there Everyone says I imagined it but he asked me for a square My doctor thinks I dreamed it all but I swear that it's the truth If you don't believe my word ask the pigeon he smoked one too
