I have a yard and I’m the boss.
Rabbits and birds can just get lost.
When they visit, they’ve gone astray.
I chase them out; they cannot stay.
But squirrels are a special case:
they just climb trees when I give chase.
And then they scold, so I bark back.
I’ll climb up too; I’ll learn the knack.
It’s lots of work, this yard of mine,
But also fun, so when I whine,
I’ll tell you what it’s all about:
“Come on humans, let me out!“
I’m Pete Harbeson, a writer (among other things) located near Boston, Massachusetts. In addition to writing my own content, I’ve learned to translate for my loquacious and opinionated pup Chocolate Bossypaws. No surprise, she mostly speaks in doggerel. You can find her contributions tagged with Chocolatiana.
Check out my other blog, Techlimitics, where I’m grappling with the nature of simplicity. You can also find some of my minor software projects at GitHub. Nothing very impressive. I mostly write tiny utilities in Python.
I find myself suddenly de-corporatized (their choice, not mine). To help keep the lights on, buy me a coffee!
