National Poetry Month Day Twenty

Prompt:  Write a poem in which you incorporate two outlandish lies.  These “lies” can be untruths about you (the poet) or they can be historical or contemporary.  For example:  “The South won the Civil War.”

—But Maybe

The squirrels we see in park and yard

Seem hardly worth remote regard.

Fuzzy, cute and scatterbrained

They keep a canine entertained.

But in the trees they’ve hatched a plot

To vanquish us without a shot.

And so beware the evil squirrels

Because they plan to rule the world.
