Bryan Alexander - my dog (Killian)

today I watched my dog (Killian)
jump over a five ft. fence
3 times trying to get to the neighbors tree
and bite this squirrel
that was hurling acorns and insults
at her
she climbed as high as she could
up this tall tree
but the squirrel would climb
just a little higher than she could reach
this vulger little squirrel
shouted obsenities
in the nutty squirrel tongue
at her
making her want it more
I wish I wanted ANYTHING
as much as she wanted
that squirrel
