Flat Squirrel
by @mikegtz
Liner Notes
True story-I saw two dead (and flat) squirrels on the road this morning, first on my way to pick up my new glasses and then on the way back home. Rough for squirrels out there and others...some apologies due to Loudon Wainwright III
Lyrics
There was a flat squirrel on the road today
Not quite quick enough to dodge the passing car
No one to mourn him, he just lay there
Until someone scrapes him off the road
Later, there was another flat squirrel on another road
Not quite quick enough to dodge the passing car
Another casualty on his way to a nearby tree
Someone needs to scrape him off the road
A friend of mine was laid off from his job
Deemed as too expensive, fired on the spot
Needs to find another or he'll be a casualty
Hope they won't be scraping him off the road
Flat squirrel in the middle of the road
Flat squirrel in the middle of the road
Flat squirrel in the middle of the road
Flat squirrel in the middle of the road
Dead squirrel
Dead squirrel
Dead squirrel

It's a tough season for squirrels here in massachusetts. Tough season for workers all over.

This reminds me of something my daughter did a while back. One year, she went out for a walk and started rescuing turtles from the road, moving them to safety so they wouldn’t get hit. Thankfully, the traffic slowed down for her!!
