Monsters

They dig and chew

and bite and claw

they rip and tear

and get fur

everywhere.

Their gnawing on

the bones and sucking

the marrow is

audible from

down the hall.

Their scratching and

talon dragging noises

across miles of chalkboard

causing hyper paranoia

with every subtle sound.

They burrow and

dig under the

skin and into the brain

to cause more

terror and pain.

Squirrels need to go

I can’t stand them at

all.

They ruined my

air conditioner

and my peace of

mind.

They’re little

terrorists, bent on

nut collection and

secret world

domination.

They’d get you

if they could.

Little monsters.
