In My Attic

Squirrel Haven


Life with squirrels
can be dreadfully awful
especially if
they live right above you.
With their noisy
and annoying ways.
The carrying sounds
of scurrying...
The pitter patter
of little feet.
The endless
gnawing and scratching
probably with teeth
like langoliers
don't you think?
The sound of rafters
moving and rattling
until slowly
they are removed
one by one
and taken away.

I have heard different squirrel stories over the years and most people do not like squirrels.  They are annoying and irritating damaging pests.  Almost like giant size termites.  However they do look innocent when you see them gnawing on a nut.  Don't you think?
