Beagle Yell - A Poem

[Based on Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell"]

Just now a fat red squirrel
Came dancin’ on my deck.
Just now that darned red squirrel
Gave our back door a peck.

She said “Hey there, beagle,
You can’t get outside!”
Once this door opens,
I’ll tan your darn hide!

And so
In the noontime hour,
I cry “Door! Door! Door!”
With a beagle yell,
“Out! Out! Out!”

Yowwwwl!

In the noontime hour,
I cry “Door! Door! Door!”
With a beagle yell,
“Out! Out! Out!”
“Door! Door! Door!”

The biped comes on over,
Slides open the door.
And now I chase the squirrel
With four on the floor!

I’ve been set free!
Now you had better flee!
Run to your tree!
It’s a beagle grand prix!

And so
In the noontime hour,
I bark “Squirrel! Squirrel! Squirrel!”
With a beagle yell,
“Squirrel! Squirrel! Squirrel!”

Yowwwwl!

In the noontime hour,
I scream “Squirrel! Squirrel! Squirrel!”
With a beagle yell,
“Squirrel! Squirrel! Squirrel!”

It climbs the tree up toward heaven.
But I’ll wait right here until it’s eleven.
Or stay out all night till the morning at seven.
Or chase it ‘cross the ocean all the way to Devon.

Arf! Yowl!

I’d climb a tree to bite, squirrel,
You to pieces, that’s right.
I’ll bite your neck so tight, rat,
To get rid of your blight.

I want to grab your neck, squirrel.
Make you pay for that door peck.
I’ll send your soul, down to heck, rat!
And then, and then, and then, and then – Hey the biped has food!

And so
In the noontime hour,
I shout “Food! Food! Food!”
With a beagle yell,
“Food! Food! Food!”

Yummmmmm!

In the noontime hour,
I cry “Food! Food! Food!”
With a beagle yell,
“Food! Food! Food!”
“Food! Food! Food!”

Oh boy, I got kibble!
I want more.
More more more more more!
Ooh yeah, there’s some gravy!
I want more.
Yum yum yum yum yum!
