Squirrel Unionizes Farm Trees, Demands Acorn Wages and Winter Breaks
Ma stared, “They’ve got a picket sign?”
Pa said, “And a lawyer ridin’ a pine.”
The squirrels had formed a local branch,
With bylaws nailed to an old wood plank.
“We gather nuts, we build the nests,
We deserve respect–and nutty chests.”
They rallied by dawn near the chicken coop,
With chants and choreographed loop-de-loops.
They shut down apple harvests bold,
Until the farmer caved and paid in gold.
Now squirrels get PTO and spa tree bark,
And host retreats in Central Park.
They wrote a memoir and sold the rights,
To HBO’s “Rodent Rights.”
