Squirrel Grandiosity [Lyric Poem]

Posted on February 16, 2026 by B Gourley

Photograph of an Eastern Gray Squirrel taken in North Georgia.

A squirrel sat straight upon a dirt mound.
   It could survey the woods for miles around.
 Holding an acorn like a microphone,
   The rodent seemed to be deep in the Zone.
 Perhaps comedy stylings or folk songs?
   But it just chewed its nut loud and long.

This is a fun poem! I especially love the title, “Squirrel Grandiosity”, with a title like that, how could one scroll by without reading?
