I hate squirrels. Everything about 'em. Really. **Everthing** about them.

They’re the loudest thing in the forest (unless, as i’ve had it pointed out to me, one was to put an elephant into a forest and chased him around). They leave those little piles of what ever that stuff is everywhere and they laugh and laugh and laugh at everything you try to do. Rotten fuckers. Like they could do it any better.

They’re basically pigeons with and a big fluffy tail and no wings. I curse that tail, for it is that tail which makes others (softer, blinder folks then my self) think they are not Pure Evil -which they are. As far as i see it, they are biding their time, waiting for our society to crumble. that’s why they stay in the cities unlike most of the other animals. They’re gonna take over when were gone and laugh at us while they wate.

Thus, i am beginning a collection of haikus dedicated to my deep loathing for these “cute”, furry bastards.  
#1  
Shut up forest jerk  
Your food stores impress me not  
I really hate squirrels

#2  
Fry in hell filth ball  
Stop chewing on my windows  
Before I stomp you

#3  
The sun rises late  
You ate my weather-stripping  
I know where you live

#4  
Majestic rodent?  
Pestilent plague carrier.  
Man I hate squirrels

#5  
Eat my nuts will you?  
Know this well, dirty fleabag  
I’m a damn good shot

#6  
Laugh, saucy bastard  
Soon, soon my cat will eat you  
Then we’ll see who laughs

(Sonnets will be accepted too)

This isn’t a haiku, but when I was doing archaeology, I found a squirrel penis bone. Really.

Horrible Squirrel  
Your Chattering drives me nuts  
Shoot .22 at you

Squirrels suck huge Dick  
You are the evil creatures  
I Will Kill You All

.22 blast to head  
Brains go flying everywhere  
I relax in chair

Cows go moo and eat  
They plot all human demise  
with grins on their face.

Rat Poisons don’t work  
Squirrels too smart for that shit  
they sniff their food first

My dear sweet gramma,

No, really, I mean it - she lost count at 25 one winter.

Yee-haw…gonna try my hand.

Tall, majestic oak  
Electrify this old tree  
Fried squirrel anus

I have greased the pole  
stay out of my birdfeeder,  
bushy-tailed hoodlum

what do squirrels do?  
do they have any purpose?  
no one will miss them

giant robot claw  
sqirrel blood on cold metal  
clean-up is a cinch

do not need rifle  
bow and arrow will suffice  
cut them right in half

can’t see them happy  
shoot a big squirrel daily  
it’s a lot of fun

always laugh at me  
big huge giant squirrels do  
'till .22 hits them

gives upham high 5  
for hating squirrels also  
team up and shoot them

Infest our parklands  
Nibble and chew your garbage  
Tonight your tree burns

I am not violent  
I do not torture my pets  
I just fuckin’ hate squirrels

Dumb urban vulture  
Feast on all that remains good  
Soon the bombs will drop

I just thought I’d say that my school of higher learning has an albino squirrel that roams the campus. If you think regular squirrels are bad, just imagine a pure white one with red, beady eyes staring straight into your soul.

Cute fluffy creature  
Spreading love all around  
As well as Hanta

A bushy tail  
Dangles in the morning air,  
From my antenna.

Sound of feet  
landing on my new porch,  
The head follows.

Sound greets me  
Sound of teeth breaking  
Heh. Iron nuts.

For **bouv**

White squirrel, red eyes  
stare deep into my soul.  
Please god, make it stop.

I meant to change this. It reads better as:

Sound of feet  
hitting my front step.  
The head follows.

The bump appeared to  
Be unnecessary I

Squirrels are so cool.  
They can eat my meaty nuts  
and not choke on hair.

I have pet squirrels.  
One of them is named Upham.  
Man, how weird is THAT?

Squirrels got more tail  
Than I was able to get  
In ALL 99.

The squirrel has bone.  
Well, guess what, little lady:  
So does yours truly.
