The Squirrel by Emily Dickinson Animal poem
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
Experiment to me
Is every one I meet.
If it contain a kernel?
The figure of a nut
Presents upon a tree,
Equally plausibly;
But meat within is requisite,
To squirrels and to me.
