And one or both will be "up a tree."

Each in her style: some are stately and

stiff;

Some hiss and spit, and are up in a whiff;

And some hunch along in a moody miff.

It does n't much matter, however it be;

The best of people may get up the tree;

The question is, when they 'll come down,

you see!

An offenseless one will descend straightway;
