“Big
Mouth”
cji
10/14/16
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!
