The Incident

It was bound to happen, he had taken chances before.
Always playing in the street with his friends
but this day is where his life would end.

I saw them earlier running here and there,
chasing their enemy causing her some fear

One time too many they had messed with her kids,
but on this day she was determined to rid

With every breath, she would fight
Even outnumbered she would not take flight

On this day he met his end,
He was caught up playing games with his friends

The car sped speedily along not even slowing down
As he lay there laying lifeless on the ground

The others just stood there looking at him
After a few moments, they took off to play again

Back to Mrs. Wrens, they went on the double
They were intent in stirring up trouble

She heard the sound of her babies cry
They were nesting in the bush nearby

She swooped down at them off they did fly
The Squirrels would be back they would have another try

Even short a brother squirrel, not a thought of their future
To fight with Mrs. Wren, was just in their nature
