The Never-Ending Game


Round one
There’s a squirrel in my house.  We tried to catch him in my pantry but failed.
Two monkeys pooped on my porch.  I threw a rock at them but missed.
A giant spider was hiding on my conditioner bottle yesterday. I settled for only shampoo. 
There’s a hyena lurking in the woods by my house.  I’ve been advised to walk a different way home. 
A Blacksmith Plover bird came screeching down at me while I was on a walk and got within inches of my head.  I turned and walked in the other direction. 

This round:
Animals- 5
Liza- 0

I need to work on my Eliza Thornberry skills. 

Round two
The squirrel trap has been set, but I think he already died from a heart attack.  Hopefully my house doesn’t start smelling now. 
As usual the monkeys were trying to drink from the sprinkler that is set up in my yard, so I decided to turn it on.  Nothing like a blast to the face to scare you away. 
I’d been given mace the first day to protect myself from rabid animals, and lately it has stayed much closer

Narrowing the gap, but I have at least 50 bites on my legs and arms from tse-tse flies as a result of our camping trip. 

This round:
Animals- 6
Liza- 3

Thankfully I’m not even to the end of the first quarter.

  1. This is simply hysterical! Aren't you supposed to "talk to the animals"?
