THE SQUIRREL BY MILDRED BOWERS ARMSTRONG


THE SQUIRREL BY MILDRED BOWERS ARMSTRONG 

You may have seen a squirrel sitting on the ground eating a nut. What did it look like? Here is a poet’s description of just such a squirrel. 

He wore a question mark for tail, 

An overcoat of gray, 

He sat up straight to eat a nut. 

He liked to tease and play, 

And if we ran around his tree, 

He went the other way.
