Squirrel
In the backyard we got a lot of trees.
In our home I've watched them leap
From limb to limb.
Unbelievable.
Did you ever get one in your attic?
They're not too cute
When they get in your attic.
I'll tell you that.
I would not harm a squirrel.
I don't want to get those animal lovers . . .
I got them in my attic.
No, I got,
But I got a squirrel cage
Then took them out in the woods
Over by Yogi's house
And dropped them off.
(Phil Rizzuto, 6/7/91)

OK, that's awesome.
Did you write that or is it really Rizzuto?
It is really Rizzuto from the book "O Holy Cow" a compilation of his spoken poetry.
Ah...but he never meant it to be poetry.
It just came out that way. Like Yogi's zen koans.
It is called found poetry.
