On Halloween night
Paws in doorstep candy-bowl
Steal a Kit-Kat, run.

Hide in tree, gloating
Suspicious scowl at witness
Stuff in mouth, all yours!

O Piggy Squirrel
Halloween ain’t just for kids
Chocolate stuffed cheeks.

All candy’s gone now
Crying child, you’re out of luck
Squirrel’s chowing down.

(Yes, this actually happened)
