Just an observation ...

I was taking a little walk today
and I saw a squirrel lying dead
in the gutter.

It looked like it was taking a quick nap
but its pelvis and hind legs had been crushed
by the wheels of a car.

In a tree nearby,
a live squirrel was chattering away
energetically.

And it seemed to be saying:
"Better you than me,
Fucker."

That little squirrely in the tree coulda been mourining the loss of its mate, ya know. IJS...

Is this another one of your allegories?

Maybe the chattering squirrel is trying to ignore the feeling of getting dissed by the now crippled squirrel and in the process didn't know that the other squirrel was crippled, because the lines of communication had been abruptly cut-off by aforementioned crip. Something the chattering squirrel couldn't imagine, or even why. A reasonable, mature reason, that is.

I guess my little ode to Buk wasn't as clever or as obvious as I thought.

O'Tim: That live squirrel was definitely not mourning. That bastard was chattering more smack than you'd hear in any pick-up basketball game.

RL: No allegory. Sometimes a dead squirrel really just means a dead squirrel.

Ook ook

Well you said seemed to be saying, so I offered my two red-arse cents.

But hey, you're the monkey, and as a member of the animal kingdom I'll just have to trust you.

As I learned at Jack's Creek recently, squirrels are mean little buggers. I bet the first squirrel was pushed.

squirrels are glorified cute rats with bushier tails. I second joe the troll. It was a squirrel pushing squirrel scenario for sure. Motive? Bet it was a nut stash.

Damn evil squirrels
