from my pelts
coats and hats became a trend
don't sack me until the end
when Davy Cocket film was made
my kind was hunted, underpaid
Yes, I have robbed your fruit and corn
city dwellers rose up against my intrusion
but am I a real threat
or only a passing illusion?
I keep the population of fowl in check
Am a nimble washer, so my latin name suggests
that banded visitor in the night
teach my kits to scout and hunt alright.
If you find me wounded
bring me back to full form
release me into the wild
where I belong
I was created for the woods
live on frogs, young birds and fruit
a varied diet like yours truly
in the home...before being tamed
I'd be unruly.

Are you a raccoon?
Yup...raccoon..and that's my final answer!

dancing with you in the summer rain~

I thought I'd read some past work of the person who's been so kind to me. And I love it! Raccoons are fascinating creatures. does this animal choice reveal something about you? I'd like to know. Well, keep the ink flowing!

its amazing what one single word can do.

I suppose it does, I consider myself a survivor of sorts, adapting just as raccoons do in the city, they are clever..it's nice to see commonalities
