Cloudy with a Chance of Squirrels

I love my backyard.
We have a black walnut tree.
Which means we have lots and lots of squirrels.


You might be wondering why 
I bother staring up at them,
scrambling twenty, thirty feet up.

What chance does a little brown dog have
at catching a squirrel high up in a walnut tree?

But every once in awhile,
it RAINS SQUIRREL.

So far, just one at a time.
But who's complaining?


I have been outside in squirrel showers
TWICE in two years.

They fall RIGHT AT MY FEET.

And for me, those are odds 
worth looking up for.
