Two Squirrels

On a walk in the ‘burbs I was startled to see Two squirrels at work In a way new to me. Each was clenching, with teeth, Something plastic and weird (For a squirrel, at least, That is how it appeared.) One raced with a container That used to hold milk And the other’s held mustard Or food of that ilk. So my question is what Were they planning to do With containers like that? Oh, how I wish I knew!

In Hawai'i and Japan, fish are a major source of protein, yet almost 100% of current catches contain plastic and/or microplastic beads, so I imagine your squirrels have also swallowed plastic which will contaminate their predators, so you may want to skip squirrel on the menu! Aloha! Rico

This is so witty, Ilene! I and my cat, Jeff, enjoy watching squirrels playing in my back lawn. I feed them corn and they eat some and bury some in the lawn.
