The Parable Of The Squirrels

We have recently been hearing the pitter-patter of tiny feet in the loft. No, we didn’t confine the children up there when they were too noisy, we had an invasion of squirrels evidently scoping out a warm place for this winter’s hibernation.

We called in a pest control company. We asked them what bait they put in the traps. Would it be some smaller unfortunate creatures? What about acorns? No: Snickers bars. The lure of chocolate traps the furry vermin, who then have a meeting with a man who, Al Pacino-like, wants to introduce them to his ‘lil friend’.

For those who have ears to hear.
