Nuts

I looked askance  
Out of my window  
And i could see the telegraph lines  
Bouncing!  
At first, i thought it was the wind  
But i saw no movement of the trees  
I rose from my seat  
Then ventured to the window  
And to my complete surprise  
I espied a gang of rogue squirrels  
They were heavily armed  
And bright eyed, and bushy tailed  
I knew this was a lethal combination  
So i had to act quickly  
I rushed into the other room  
Armed with a broom  
Which i used to pound against the lines  
At first, the squirrels held tight  
As they twanged up, and down  
And the only noise they made  
Was a loud screaming  
EEK!  
Two fell  
Landing uncomfortably  
On the trees way below  
The other three turned tail, and retreated  
As i yelled out the window after them  
"Don't come here again, ive told you  
Ive got no nuts!"  
At that precise moment  
A family of passers by  
Who hadn't seen the squirrels  
Gave me the most questioning of looks?
