Whose spindly whiskers are these I say
Tickling my smiling cheek?
Are they from a guinea pig running
With an excited, high-pitched squeak?

Maybe the whiskers of a curious bunny
Sniffing out hidden treats?
Maybe from a cat with a big bushy tail
And swishing on regal feet?

Maybe the whiskers of a wriggly otter
Burrowing in secret dens?
Maybe from a dog with a wagging tongue
Curled up in the lap of his friend?

Maybe the whiskers of a twitching rat
Nibbling on a crunchy sweet?
Maybe from a gently nestled squirrel
Her whiskers drooped with sleep?

Glorious whiskey tickles, and though
I know not to whom they belong
Whomever their owner, may their whiskers do
Much tickling all day long!
