Hey folks,

Just wanted to pop in and say that I wrote something fun for April Fool’s. Author Lilith Saintcrow, besieged by squirrel terror in her backyard, was the inspiration behind “The Squirrel.”

It starts with…

Once upon an evening dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
How to script an ensuing volume for my readers galore,
While I nodded, nearly dozing, suddenly there came a scraping,
As of some one gently chafing, up against my screen porch door.
`’Tis my fuzzy feline,’ I muttered, ‘chafing at my screen porch door –
Only this, and nothing more. –From THE SQUIRREL by yours truly

…and gets crazier from there.

After you read Fish April and Squirrel Ballad in all its glory on Lilith Saintcrow’s website, be sure to catch up on Lili’s squirrel shenanigans in related posts. They are high-larious.

Oh, and don’t forget to check out one of Lilith Saintcrow’s many books or stories. Just sayin’. Shameless plug for another author! Hooray!
