Are you quixotic, squirrel?
What urgent quest compels you
To keep blurring my photos
When I try to pin you down?
Is it for love or adventure?
Is it for justice or fame
Or to battle armed windmills,
My heroic Don Squirrel?
Oh.
It was just for food.
You’ve ruined my poem.
A silly poem I wrote for a Berkeley squirrel that was bounding around my bench while I was contemplating the word quixotic.
