When you are outside,
Minding your own buisness,
Your sibling watching Rip Tide,
A tail you may witness!

The tail might be thin,
Or maybe thick and bushy,
Perhaps behind a bin,
Or may look very plushy.

It may be brown or white,
Or may be red or grey,
It may run out of sight,
Or you can see it stay!

Baby or adult,
Female or Male,
You may want to consult,
On where they are for sale !

You may think they are cute,
You may think they’re impetuous
They like to munch on fruit,
And sometimes are preposterous.

Some of us might think,
That their not like turtles,
But others learnt through history,
That they are all called squirrels!!!
