With plenty of room

to eat standing up, a young

squirrel prefers to

dine upside down, thus taunting

the cats watching through the glass.

These rainy days aren’t

meant for dancing even if

you’re the dancing kind.

Let’s wait for the storm to pass

then dance shoeless in the grass.

More often than not,

I’m the oldest in the room.

I try hard to look

   patient and wise, but they look 

  surprised that  I’m still alive.
