As I waited for the bus, a neighbor strolled by and we sparked up a spring conversation:
It’s
nice to hear the birds, isn’t it?
I want to see
that yellow cardinal whose been spotted in Pennsylvania.
Wonder
who spied him on April Fools?
Yeah, what happens with suspending disbelief then?
We saw a white robin in this neighborhood
three years back.
I spied a pair of albino squirrels cracking pine
nuts in Great Falls.
They’re
really not that uncommon, in a way.
Yeah, there’s supposed to be one for every ten
thousand.
How
long does it take to see 10,000 maniac squirrels though?
About the same can be said for the manic opioid epidemic.
True,
it gets darn near one out of every thousand, real bad each season.
But everyone seems to know someone affected.
Yeah,
that doesn’t sound right, must be more serious.
Or?
-->Or?
Albino’s & addicts, no April Fools

There is a little mountain town in NC called Brevard known for its rare white squirrels. It’s a claim to fame worthy of a Hallmark Channel fluffy romantic story. ha! Of course the female must own a dog bakery on Main Street known for her white squirrel nut nuggets for dogs, garnering a natural food distributor to help her go national, and a National Geographic photographer on assignment to capture white squirrel activities, encouraging her not to sell out to the suitors, as their parent corporation wants to harvest the special trees for shiplap remodeling material that are the white squirrels exclusive habitat. Yep it would be a cliffhanger for sure..... ;-)
