Suicidal suburban squirrels
Skitter across the silent street
Seeking substanance on a Sunday
Something nutty-something sweet

Cadillac cruising carefully
Creeps between cracked curbs
Cursing the careless creatures
Who criss-cross the concrete curves

Silent once more is the street
Sitting in the sultry sun
Still silly squirrels scurry
While direct sun they shun

Careening around the crumbled corner
Crushing the luckless creature
Creating a carcass numb

No agony is apparent
Among the active animals
All action goes on as before
Only now there's one less squirrel
