(7) "Big Mouth"

“Big Mouth”

Don’t listen to him he’s old
can’t remember anything
now us squirrels really know
we were sacrifices for meals
they’d shoot us out of trees
but in spite of this heroes
knowing it was for freedom
they needed food – us
armies run on stomachs
but we had our days too
and were still all around
our chatter is oral history
but he’s just a big mouth
you really want to know
talk with us in the fields
our lifespans shorter
so my 140th Great Pa
was sitting right here
when old big mouth
was plowing the fields!
