squirrel looked at my bookshelf and asked:
“hey, you read all them books?”
i said to the squirrel:
“you know all them nuts you been burying in my yard?
you eat all them nuts?”
to that he said: “touché.”
and i said:
“well one day i plan to.”
sadly the squirrel said:
“you better not.”

i wasn’t sure if the squirrel was sad
because he feared he might be hungry
if i ate all his nuts,
or maybe it was because
he didn’t know how to read.
