The Squirrels are Lawless
They surely, willingly flattened
one of the green onions.
Like Eagles fans climbing
streetlights after the Super Bowl.
Perhaps I need to get on
the squirrels’ level and
plant something “fat as
ya mother!” –establish leeks
as another circle of defense.
There are many plants meant
to deter squirrels.
Whatever keeps us fed.
Whatever keeps them
out of the birdfeeder.
