The Short poem gives a description of the squirrel, its movement, the food it likes, the way it plays and so on.
Stanza 1
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
Explanation: The stanza begins with a physical description of the squirrel. The squirrel is grey coloured and therefore the poet says that he wears “an overcoat of gray,” his tail is twisted like a question mark. Further, the post describes the food that the squirrel mostly enjoys. He loves to eat nuts. The poet loves the game of hide and seek between him and the squirrel, the squirrel would go and hide in the other direction.
