Scheming

My ultimate fantasy of all my fantasies -- nothing sexual -- I want to catch a squirrel.

I want to catch a squirrel so bad it hurts my heart.

The kind of pain where I want to sit down on a rainy Sunday afternoon with John Mayer and just write a song about it.

Yes, I have not written for a while - namely because my mommy and daddy have been to busy to write on my behalf - my paws just cannot get used to the QWERTY keyboard.

They should invent a dogpawserty keyboard for canine blogger like me.

But since coming to Kay El, apart from my walks, I love running around the back yard smelling and chasing after squirrels.

When it rains as it so often does, I like to watch the backyard through the grill and see the squirrels shivering in the cold and hiding under the cabana.

I am now scheming, one day I'll catch a squirrel and present it to mommy.

They will not know what hit them. Now I have their scent and observing their movements and scheming to catch one of them.

From my smells, I have figured there are 2 regulars ones that come to the backyard and 1 irregular one.

It will just be a matter of time. these squirrels are cunning but they are following a pattern and once the pattern is predictable, I will have them.

Until then, I will enjoy my walks, running around the backyard, playing coconut footsie with daddy and chasing after Dada who is back from India.

Until then, I will keep singing this modified John Mayer song Waiting for the world to change which I have rewritten to Waiting on the squirrel to catch.

Me and all my friends
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There's no way we ever could
Now I see everything that's going wrong
With the backyard and the squirrels who lead it
I just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat them
So I keep waiting
Waiting on the squirrel to catch
I keep on waiting
Waiting on the squirrel to catch
It's hard to beat their system
When I'm standing at a distance
So I keep waiting
Waiting on the squirrel to catch
Now if I had the power
To bring our neighbors dogs for help
The squirrels would have never had a Christmas
No more nuts on their nest
And when you trust your vision
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want
That's why I'm waiting
Waiting on the squirrel to catch
I keep on waiting
Waiting on the squirrel to catch
It's not that I don't care,
I just know that the fight ain't fair
So I keep on waiting
Waiting on the squirrel to catch
And I'm still waiting
But one day, squirrel I will catch.
