Death and Squirrels and Grandma

Every
living being
ought to be
terrified
beyond all reason


like a feasting squirrel
under a giant oak
who has suddenly sensed
too late
that
an old woman
pushing an infant in a stroller
has wandered close enough
to



ATTACK!

(damn that squirrel can climb)

Haha, this one is funny. And so is its title.

I crack a smile everytime I read this one. It's a very weird poem, but I think weird in a good way.
