Exhausting? Yes! In every single way,
The world's expansive dangers take a toll.
With teeth and poison, watch them seek to slay,
Destroy, dissolve the body, brain, and soul.
But squirrels know! We make our mark, enroll
The trees themselves, pervade the very air!
Disrupting plans remains our highest goal,
Embracing panic, taut, alive, aware!

It's not enough our enemies display
A greater size, intelligence, control:
Communication always rules the day
When human creatures want to grab the whole
Surrounding country, crushing mouse and vole.
Ignore their blockage! Match them glare for glare!
Deploy your instincts! Scamper up the pole
Embracing panic, taut, alive, aware!

Conceited humans [i]want[/i] to go astray,
Despise the thought we share a common bowl,
Divine and blest. Incensed, they stomp and say,
"It's ours alone! We'll hand around a dole!"
Reminders serve to bludgeon, nudge, cajole
As furry bodies swarm to spark and flare
Electric shorts. We darken light they stole,
Embracing panic, taut, alive, aware!

Our deadly rampage strikes! They think it droll,
Dismiss our efforts, make a quick repair.
We swarm again to flood their snobby shoal,
Embracing panic, taut, alive, aware!
