The Squirrel and I

I walked across Civic Park
Under the coolness of
The Sunkist Orange rich sun
That was moments from setting
From the distance I must
Have looked like a moving tree
To a frisky grayish brown squirrel
After all I stand a whooping
Six feet four inches
So with a brisk deliberate
Purposeful stride going
That frisky squirrel got in my way
He stood up on his two back legs
And stared up at me
I stood still as he got back down
On all fours
He came a little closer
To my unscuffed
Wheat colored boots
That were similar
To the mud colored ones
That colored his paws
A brownish burnt
Cornbread tintish color
He sniffed around me
And then headed to
A more desirable tree
At that moment
I guess I was offended
Because he barked up
The wrong tree and then
Told me in his own
Way that I didn't
Smell good
Now I am thinking
To myself
Hum he
Would make a good
Hat or a good Cornish
Hen
You know in our world
Everything taste like chicken

Don't tell anyone I am pretending to be something different...

This is so infused with humor and vivid imagery. I enjoyed the laugh at the end, it's nice when I hear a something from you that is lighter. Bravo.

or a good squirrel jacket...

this is quite good, the description makes me feel like i am the squirrel deciding on which tree.
to be shunned by a squirrel, that would drive the speaker "nuts"!

Thanks for the review but Jacob scares me...He and a few others make me insecure cause they are light years ahead of me....my background is gritty...

[Gee]

You're under selling yourself by a long way,imagine how I feel,limited vocabulary and a slipping grasp on the English language!!!I try to review many on here but find myself clueless as to what is written,now that is light years behind.
