This has been going through my head all freakin’ day for absolutely no reason, so I’ll share that joy with you all. It’s one of Lyle’s greatest, a rather competitive title considering the genius of the man, but expressed in just the right sing-song voice gets completely stuck in your head.
I give you “A Squirrel Poem For Children”, originally published at the Lair of Blair:
A Squirrel Poem for Children
My squirrel plays the bagpipes;
He keeps them in my car.
He plays those nasty bagpipes
Wherever squirrels are.
Colt forty-five, meet bagpipes
And blast them all to hell.
Though squirrel plays the bagpipes
He does not play them well.
If anyone knows how to get it out of my head, I’d really appreciate it. I think I may have to gnaw my arm off to distract.
