The Squirrel



Yesterday morning while eating breakfast I was noticing the rather plump squirrels dashing around the water oak in the backyard and I was reminded of the first poem I ever read out loud, as a matter of fact I read it from the school office over the intercom to the entire school. I was in first grade.


The Squirrel
Anonymous
Whisky, frisky,
Hippity hop;
Up he goes
To the tree top!

Whirly, twirly,
Round and round,
Down he scampers
To the ground.

Furly, curly
What a tail!
Tall as a feather
Broad as a sail!

Where's his supper?
In the shell,
Snappity, crackity,
Out it fell.
