Squirrel Dancing

There's a squirrel dancing
in the middle of the road,
seemingly oblivious
to the Green Cross Code.

I wind down the window and say
Squirrel, quit your boogaloo
or I may squirrelslaughter you!

There's a squirrel jiving
in the middle of the lane.
I'm no animal psychiatrist
but I think he's insane.

Squirrel, I implore you
to can your last can
lest you get exterminated
by a man in a van!

Make this your last Swan Lake,
your final Nutcracker,
or the reaper will make earrings
from your little knackers!

Squirrel! I'm begging you, please
take flight into the trees!
Spend your days up above,
making sweet squirrel love
and listening to Bee Gees LPs!
