Question

You may have seen a squirrel sitting on the ground
eating a nut. What did it look like? Here is a poet's
description of just such a squirrel.
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.

Working with the Poem
1. Why does the poet say the squirrel "wore a question mark
for tail"? Draw a squirrel, or find a picture of a squirrel
sitting on the ground. How would you describe its tail?
2. Do we usually say that an animal 'wears' a tail? What
do we say? (Think: Does an animal wear a coat? Consult
a dictionary if you like, and find out how wear' is used
in different ways.)
3. "He liked to tease and play". Who is teasing whom?
How ?​
