Simply Six Minutes: Furry Little Kamikazes!

Here is John’s contribution to Simply 6! Hawk Chow is a great idea!

The squirrels in my neighborhood are crazy. It’s like they have a death wish or something. We’ll be driving around and all of a sudden one will come dashing out from the side of the road. Mary will slam on the brakes to try not to hit it, and the furry little bastard will turn around and run back where he was. We think he’s back on the side of the road and start moving again, and he’ll come dashing back out again!

You do your best to avoid them, because they don’t know any better, but occasionally you crush one, and you end up feeling awful for killing him. What can you do, though?

One day we were driving through the subdivision and saw a hawk carrying one off. That’s kind of disconcerting, because you try your best not to kill them only to have a hungry hawk say…

The Cat in the Hat comes to play

The Cat in the Hat knew the mom would be mad
if she saw all the toys and goodies he had.
He tried to keep quiet and out of her way
to keep her distracted was the way he could stay.

He started with smiles and a proud, firm handshake
His brow started sweating, she would know it was fake
All he had to get by was this first “How d’ya do?”
Then to get to the kids, just he and those two.

So he started to walk on his back legs to show
that he knew that his back was the rude way to go.
The mother was pleased by the Cat’s gentle tone
She was happy to leave the three of them all alone.

The Cat took his bag and all the tricks he had found
The comics and posters and the car with the sound
He spread them all out on the rug in the room
He had his own bag and could clean with his broom.

The kids were so happy to see all his stuff
He wondered if they thought there wasn’t enough.
But for hours they played without one single fight
A perfect fun day led to a quite tired night.

My Driveway

My driveway is steep
and curvy as hell
Walking up it and down it
makes my lungs and brain swell.

Nothing makes me more tired
than bringing trash to the road
there always seems something
is heavying the load.

Since there is no more room
in the tin garbage can
Trying to get it down safely
is only part of my plan.

It isn’t so much as the
walk down the hill
it’s the walk back up top
after years, kills me still.

Time Together

On a cold dark day
the one thing I desire
is you in my arms
us in front of a fire

With no one around
to bother us here
that intimate feel
there is love in the air.
