A Giant Thwack

While waiting for a parking place,
Our handyman was stumped
To hear a giant thwack 
Upon his roof, which something bumped.

The “something” was a squirrel
Which had fallen from a tree.
His first reaction (as was mine) was
“Man, how could this be?”

He stepped outside to check it out – 
There was a major dent – 
As the squirrel scrambled to get off
And then, away he went.

Though squirrels leap from branch to branch
And climb to store their nuts,
Apparently there is, at least,
One squirrel who’s a klutz.
