How We Do That

How We Do That

I told my wife

there are squirrels copulating

in our trees.

Tell me how they do that

please.

Two creatures balancing high

amongst the leaves.

Nature pairs them on

a daring trapeze.

Tell me how they do that,

please.

It’s unlikely I’ll swing

naked through our trees.

My wife believes my brain

is infested with fleas.

But, tell us how we do that

please!

Just the two of us

lounging with ease.

Hiding up high in

our haven of trees.
