Adam from Pest Control arrived this morning
to discuss squirrels and various other animals.
(Who Doesn’t Have Bats said Adam .)
His mother one of thirteen children
(You probably guessed Catholic and you’re right).
She grew up on a farm.
Eight doors down his father lived an only child
big hippy once went all the way to Florida
on a horse he’d do it again if he had
the energy. They met on the same road
and they’re still there said Adam.
He lives with his wife and two boys
one town away from his parents.
His wife’s from the city. Her father
was Italian. He’d go hunting just to
drink beer with his friends. Never caught
an animal in 35 years.
We’re all right here.
Squirrels and all, Adam said.
Wonderful, charming tale!
