Poems and Prose by Tim Fox

  • Squirrels

    Things are dark, things have . . . gone to shit
    I’m just gonna sit here and . . . have a sit
    Sit and do nothing for the rest of the day
    Yeah, I’m just gonna watch these squirrels play

    Look at that one, running ’round that tree
    Look at his brother, sitting and looking at me
    I take my well-earned arguments and all I’ve got to say
    And I’m just gonna watch these crazy squirrels play

    They don’t go nowhere, but it sure looks like fun
    I’d kill anybody who took after ’em with a gun
    Don’t care about your car and your fine array
    ‘Cause all I gotta do is watch these squirrels play

    I hear the talk on the left and on the right
    I hear that shit go down every night
    To me it ain’t worth a thing, it’s just a waste of space
    About as productive as watching these fucking squirrels play

    Well at least they have fun, at least they’re digging life
    They don’t care about my toil and strife
    There’s a black one and a white one in the same damn tree
    If I stay a little longer, maybe they’ll play with me
