Looking through my phone’s notes and found this poem. Did I write it? Why else would it be on my phone? It’s from February 2020. Usually I note the writer if I save something.
This is a strange sensation. I quite like it. How odd. Maybe it isn’t mine. I’ve googled the first line and nothing came up.
Any idea?
Squirrel
every day a new challenge
no stunt doubles, this is all about me.
I’m ready.
A mad sprint across the wire,
bounce across the grey pavement patio,
up the pole
and then
a leap into the void to
dangle by the feet,
one eye on the undergrowth.
They get their money’s worth,
it’s exhausting this business
but worth it for the cheers from the sparrows
and the adulation of the cat.
Victorious once more
I exit, my trophy in my paw.
so that’s what the cheeky blighter’s thinking!
