By: Ralph Waldo Emerson
The mountain and the squirrel
Had a quarrel,
And the former called the latter
"Little prig",
Bun replied,
"You are doubtless very big;
But all sorts of things and weather,
Must be taken in together
To make up a year,
And a sphere.
And I think it no disgrace
To occupy my place.
If I'm not so large as you,
You are not so small as I,
And not half so spry;
I'll not deny you make
A very pretty squirrel track.
Talent differ; is well and wisely put;
If I cannot carry forests on my back,
Neither can you crack a nut."
