The Dormouse
A dormouse is a tiny chap
with button eyes and rounded ears.
His little life may last five years.
He hibernates-a six-month nap.
His nickname is “the sleepy one.”
He sleeps at day and up at night.
With sibling mice, they play and fight,
And snuggle, rolled up like a bun.
His tail is fluffy, oh, so cute.
They’re agile, little acrobats.
Can climb up trees so very fast.
They like to eat bugs, nuts and fruit.
Like butterflies and bumble bees,
They’re helpful in pollination.
They live in varied location—
Among grasslands, and rocks and trees.
With creamy, orange or golden coat,
They’d make fine pets on which to dote.
