Squirrel Poems

Five Little Squirrels~ Five little squirrels sitting in a tree The first one said "It's getting cold for me!" The second one said "The leaves are falling to the ground." The third one said "There are nuts to be found." The fourth one said "We'd better not wait." The fifth one said "Fall is really great!" Gray Squirrel~ Gray Squirrel, Gray Squirrel Swish your bushy tail Gray Squirrel, Gray Squirrel Swish your bushy tail Wrinkle up your funny nose Put a nut between your toes Gray Squirrel, Gray Squirrel Swish your bushy tail! Whisky frisky Hippity hop Up he goes To the tree top. Whirly Twirly Round and round Down he scampers to the ground. Curly furly What a tail Tall as a feather Broad as a sail Where's his supper? In the shell. Snappity Crackity Out it fell. ~Sources Unknown~
