THE SQUIRREL

by LaRue Watts
 
Why does a squirrel cross the road
In front of the car I'm driving?
Perhaps he's heading for his abode
And late for his arriving?
I brake or swerve.  I always do.
I'm not a roadkill guy.
And, then, the next time, right on cue,
He's there when I drive by.
As fast as lightning in a flash,
I feel my heartbeat quicken.
He seems hell-bent to cause a crash.
This crossing squirrel's no chicken.
Why does a chicken cross the road?
Well, that's another story.
Perhaps her trip can but forbode
My squirrel's exploratory.
But if we really face the fact
Without much analyzing.
Their crossing is a simple act
Of nature....exercising.
