Question

What does the poem say about the poets choice of subject

Answer 1

The poem is a reflection of the poet's desire to compose poetry on most mundane elements that we come across in our day to day surrounding. A squirrel is the most commonly found animal that we see around us. Yet, very few of us would have thought of it as potent subject matter for a writer's pen. The poet very simplistically discusses the various aspects of the squirrel, which each one of us must have observed closely.
