Squirrel Grandiosity [Lyric Poem]

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.

A squirrel in New Orleans' City Park, eating an acorn on a power pole.
startled squirrel drops
 its nut; so sad for it, but
  we all get a tree.

The parrot stands, as if jilted. 
  The chipmunk sniffs, as if intrigued.
 Parrot behaves ever so stilted.
  Chipmunk is just hungry and fatigued.
