THE SQUIRREL, by FRANCES STACY KEELY
First Line: As quick as fire, as light as flame
Last Line: Soul wrong side out a-dance.

AS quick as fire, as light as flame
His movements lick the ground;
He seems epitome of life,
The verve of life around.
A furry question-mark of gray
He makes upon a tree;
As quick as an electric sign,
Reverse, tail down, is he.
His movements tingle in my mind;
I feel his furry prance,
A spiritual activity,
Soul wrong side out a-dance.
