SQUAD CARS

The squad cars pulled up

Officers rang my bell

The battering ram came out- my front door went to hell,

To rescue a kidnapped girl?

No! To euthanise a squirrel!

it didn’t turn out so well….

—

Because…

—

On the news it got

The story it got hot

Peanuts was gone 

As was my raccoon 

Law enforcement has gone to rot.

——

Now that I have written this poem

-

Will they come back to invade my home?

-

And then maybe fine me?

No, solitary confine-me -

-

23 hours a day all alone…
