And Amos, here's a Golden B.L.O.B. for verse and chorus:

Happiest woman

Got my tree, an' I got my squirrel!

Go on, Burl!!

You good ole squirrel!


'Scuse me while I go and change my britches . . .

Jane of the Squirrels (tune:Git Along Little Dogies)

As I was a-walking one morning for pleasure
I spied Michael Madden just walking along
His bird feeding hat atop of his noggin
But as he drew near me things went very wrong

Oh me, oh my-oh, don't do it young lady
I know that you think that the trees are your home
The squirrel nearly killed him, and you are much larger
Don't go for the hat, I said with a groan


Mike had his sunflow'r seed, millet and thistle
tastefully spread o'er his head's feeding tray
and artfully spotted about in the clutter
a number of nuts for the big birds today

chorus:

From the branches above him a squirrel did espy him
With winter approching those nuts looked a treat
Without even thinking he soon was a-leaping
And knocked poor old Michael right off of his feet

chorus:

Knocked arse o'er teakettle, Mike lay in the forest
When up in the branches he suddenly spied
Teresa DeSilva a-living the rough life
With a wicked big hunger a-glint in her eye

Oh me, oh my-oh, PLEASE NO! young lady
I know that you think that the trees are your home
That squirrel nearly killed me, and you are much larger
Don't go for the hat, he said with a groan


Oh me, oh my-oh, PLEASE NO! young lady
I know that you think that the trees are your home
That squirrel nearly killed me, and you are much larger
Don't go for the hat, he said with a groan

Me An' Burl


Tune: Old Blue



I had an old squirrel,
And his name was Burl,
And you can bet he was a good ole squirrel!

Go on, Burl!
You're a good ole squirrel.


I useta feed him
At my door
But I don't live
In a house no more

Go on, Burl!!
You good ole squirrel!


Well my ole man
Got drunk and mean
Meanest man you ever seen

Go on, Burl!!
You good ole squirrel!


He whopped me up
'Longside the head
An' kicked me out of his house and bed!

Go on, Burl!!
You good ole squirrel!


Well I left that house
Without a dime
Just about Burl's feeding time.

Go on, Burl!!
You good ole squirrel!


Well, Burl came around
Looking for his chuck
But I tole that squirrel he was outta luck!

Go on, Burl!!
You good ole squirrel!


He saw me crying,
And he said "Aw, gee!"
"You can come move in with me!"

Go on, Burl!!
You good ole squirrel!


So me and Burl
We started a life
And I've become a squirrel's housewife!

Go on, Burl!!
You good ole squirrel!


I cook them chestnuts
And I make the beds
And Burl, he jumps on people's heads

Go on, Burl!!
You good ole squirrel!


Now old Burl's big
He weighs eleven pound,
And he knocks the humans right down to the ground!

Go on, Burl!!
You good ole squirrel!


Don't need no man,
Nor cow nor pail,
Got me a squirrel with a fuzzy tail!

Go on, Burl!!
You good ole squirrel!


When Burl an' me
We fool around
Knocks all the chestnuts onto the ground!

Go on, Burl!!
You good ole squirrel!


Happiest woman
In the whole wide world
Got my tree, an' I got my squirrel!

Go on, Burl!!
You good ole squirrel!

Go on, Burl!!
You good ole squirrel!

Hey there, Challenge!rs -- How long has it been since you had a steaming Double Dawg Dip Dare? Well, padnuhs, that's too long! ;-) So, without further a-doo, let's see how you all can tie the tethers of these two true tales together and tell the Mudcat World --

What Happens When A Bird Brain . . .

A part-time inventor who went for a woodland stroll to test out his latest contraption - a bird-feeding hat - suffered whiplash after he was knocked over by a hungry squirrel.

Mike Madden, 48, was walking through woods near his house in Huddersfield, northern England, when a large grey squirrel spied the nuts on a feeding tray mounted on top of his headgear.

The squirrel leaped from the top of a tree and landed with such force that Mr Madden was knocked to the ground and suffered whiplash injuries.

He said: "I was out walking through the woods with my friend Craig Bailey. We had only just started the walk when 'kaboom' - I was on the floor. I didn't see much of what happened, but Craig told me he saw the squirrel flying through the air and land right on my head."

Mr Madden designed the hat so birds could use it while he was walking because he was concerned about their winter food supplies.

He said: "Someone told me afterwards that with it coming up to winter and food being so short, squirrels can be quite aggressive and opportunistic. I wish I had known that before. I've always liked squirrels - but once you've had one land on your head travelling about 30 mph you can easily go off them."

Mr Madden says his bird feeder was destroyed in the assault and he has vowed not to build another.

. . . Meets A Bird Woman?

A woman found living up a tree in Italy told police she had been kicked out of her home by her husband.

The 41-year-old woman was arrested when she started throwing chestnuts at the policemen who spotted her.

Tania Dasilva told officers she had been kicked out of her house in Teramo after a quarrel with her husband.

She said she had "no intention whatsoever to leave the tree."

The woman, who would not say when she was kicked out of the house, started throwing chestnuts at the policeman after they asked her to come down.

She is currently being held at the local police station and has been charged with aggression.

Police say they haven't been able to find her husband yet.



GO FOR IT, CHALLENGE!RS!!
