THE SQUIRREL BY MILDRED BOWERS ARMSTRONG

THE SQUIRREL 
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.
