the headless squirrel

the headless squirrel
Sigh.

Another day, another dead animal in the backyard, another haiku (or six). What luck that decapitation has five syllables!

More backyard drama:
Banjo has a bloody beard.
A headless squirrel.

Just another day 
in the Smoellke backyard. The
body count is high.

Two dogs, one body.
At least it wasn't a fox.
Stop killing things, jerks!

Another squirrel.
And what happened to its head?
Decapitation.

"The head is torn off!"
Larry investigated.
"Want to see a pic?"

Yummy squirrel brains.
A backyard delicacy.
Banjo licks his chops.

Chomp chomp lick lick lick.
Furry blood on a dog's tongue.
Squirrel faces are great!

I hope my one syllable use of "squirrel" is allowed by the judges.

Furry blood or bloody fur?

I think you have to spell it 'skwerl', if you want one syllable! ;)

furry blood = blood with fur in it.
