A Bode to Squirrels

Frozen-eyed
Squirrel in my garden plot,
I’d throw a rock at you
If the neighbors weren’t watching.

They run across the driveway
Like thieves with loot,
raccoon-eyed squirrels with
Zinnias on their breath.

Askance-eyed
Squirrel in my garden plot –
Your brood is watching
From the owl house you stole.

I know you know, have shown you so,
Without neighbors on my tail
I’ll throw rocks at you.
