The Soda Saga

Good morning sunshine..
I have a tale to tell so take a seat,
it's about a pooch named Soda
who loved squirrels to eat.

She waited and waited
for dinner to appear,
little did she know
it was she who should fear.

For up in the trees
just waiting their chance,
was a platoon of squirrels,
ready to dance.

As Soda drew near
to the place of ambush,
the leader cried out "CHARGE"
and rushed her.

Poor Soda was shocked
in total dismay,
ten thousand angry squirrels
were coming her way.

She ducked and she weaved
and she prayed to be saved,
her prayers were answered
a voice said "Be Brave".

She puffed up her chest
and tucked in her tail,
got her teeth on a squirrel
who started to wail.

"I give up..I give up"
"please don't eat me",
"perhaps we can barter"
"Yes..we"ll see".

Soda pondered the dilema
before her all the facts,
if a truce be called
no more snacks.

She pondered some more
and considered her place,
it was her against ten thousand
to many to chase.

"Okay"she said
"we have a deal",
"I promise you"
"no more meals".

The squirrel looked up
and said with a chitter,
"Don't mess with me girl"
"don't make me bitter".
"Don't break your word
"or we'll be back".

"Cause that's what happens"
"when squirrels attack".
