Dear Human:
A shoebox, a stick, and some birdseed? How stupid do you think we are? Even peanut butter wouldn’t lure us into such an infantile trap.
Regardless, this openly hostile act is not without consequences. Consider yourself warned.

Dear Chipmunks:
OK, so I need to raise the bar a little. I went shoe shopping yesterday, so I had the boxes on hand and figured I’d give it a try. How stupid do I think you are? You’re RODENTS, fer pete’s sake!
Consider the shoebox thing a warning shot. You will cease and desist with the strawberry nibbling, or I’ll have to kick it up a notch and bring out the big guns.
Besides, what are you going to do to me? Nibble my toes off?

Dear Human:
Your threats are a declaration of war! Prepare yourself!
We will now begin taking bites out of even the green strawberries. None will ripen! None will be edible! This. Is. WAR!!!!!!

Dear Mangy Vermin:
If you even LOOK like you’re eating the green strawberries, I’LL COME DOWN ON YOU LIKE A HAMMER! I’LL BLAST YOUR LITTLE STRIPY HIDES BACK INTO LAST WEEK!
I’LL TEAR YOUR LITTLE LIMBS FROM YOUR BODIES AND USE THEM AS TOOTHPICKS!
You WILL NOT destroy my strawberry crop! You will be BURIED!!!!!

Dear Human:
Have you considered trying decaf?

I wrote about these mangey rodents this week too. Did you know they hang out under bird feeders and kill ground feeders? They don’t even have the grace to haul the bodies off, but gnaw their prey smugly in front of my offended eyes.

Yikes! Did not know that. Mine seem to stay on the berry side of the house. (The bird feeders are on the opposite side.) Maybe mine are vegans.
