My current state of mind must be on a Disney trip and by trip I don't mean vacation.
It started with Goofy and morphed into Donald Duck.
As a child, were you a fan of Saturday morning cartoons?
If you were, like I was, you may recall Duck Presents.
If you are not familiar, let me paint the picture.
Donald Duck was caught in an endless battle with chipmunks, Chip and Dale.
They would antagonize one another relentlessly over the most trivial things,
and more often than not it was hilarious.
Now that I am older and in the midst of a similar battle, I can honestly say,
I have no idea how Donald managed to maintain his sanity.
Though my battle entails squirrels and not chipmunks, it is just as frustrating.
These little nuisances have burrowed their way into our attic and apparently,
have put out the welcome mat.
Our efforts to win this battle have been futile.
We sealed the hole, so they made another.
We placed a trap, but they manage to evade it.
We have tried to scare them out but evidently,
we are not as intimidating as we think we are.
They are masters of hiding so no matter how hard we try we cannot catch them.
The most frustrating thing is, every so often, we hear them up there,
digging and moving, I gather they're renovating.
Honestly, if this wasn't so frustrating, it would be comical.
Now I understand how Donald felt and I can assure you...
this means war!!!
