WHAT DO THE TRACKS SHOW?

(by Heidi Wilson)


    How many toes and which 
      way did you go
    Moving fast or slow, did any 
      claw marks show
    Did you hop or bound, were you 
      lookin around
    Did you walk without a sound, or waddle 
      low to the ground

	What do the tracks show in the winter snow
	What do the tracks show

Walking on a log on your 
  little round feet
I found a scent mark it smells like 
  stinky cheese
A sly wild dog but your 
  acting like a cat
Is your coat all red or is it 
  gray and black

	What do the tracks show in the winter snow
	What do the tracks show

Hopping through the brush in your 
  wintery dance
I try to count the toes but I 
  don't stand a chance
Your fluffy back feet floating 
  on the snow
They love to swing around and land in 
  front I know

	What do the tracks show in the winter snow
	What do the tracks show

    How many toes and which 
      way did you go
    Moving fast or slow, did any 
      claw marks show
    Did you hop or bound, were you 
      lookin around
    Did you walk without a sound, or waddle 
      low to the ground

	What do the tracks show in the winter snow
	What do the tracks show

Your six inch hooves really 
  leave me in awe
If the snow is right I might 
  see your dew claws
You're bending over maples and 
  stripping the stripes
Nibbling twigs at a 
  mighty height

	What do the tracks show in the winter snow
	What do the tracks show

You move through the snow like a 
  slick slinky
Little oval tracks, is 
  what I see
There's a pair, and 
  then two more
Bounding all across the 
  forest floor

	What do the tracks show in the winter snow
	What do the tracks show

    How many toes and which 
      way did you go
    Moving fast or slow, did any 
      claw marks show
    Did you hop or bound, were you 
      lookin around
    Did you walk without a sound, or waddle 
      low to the ground

	What do the tracks show in the winter snow
	What do the tracks show
