Scolded by Squirrels. Nuts.

I find squirrels really disturbing and scary. Think of Squirrel Nutkin - he's horrid. If ever there was a wild animal plotting our downfall, it's the squirrel.
Here's my poem;


nuts
fixed with furious eyes
too angry to blink
straight backed
tail quivering with rage
screeching and screaming
before rushing away.

I’ve been threatened by three of them now
and in the same manner,

 one squirrel on a garden wall
 one on a forest branch
 one in the tree outside my room
