A raccoon came to visit me Just the other day, It seems that he was hungry And thought he'd come and stay. I'd come home after work, And plopped down on the couch When I heard this awful banging And something grunted "ouch!" I raced into the kitchen To find the source of the sound And that is when I saw him Lying on the ground. His belly full, his paws a mess, His eyes looking scared up at me I clapped my hands and off he went, Toward my window at full speed. He paused when he had gotten out, And stood up looking in at me, I slowly walked towards him, And still he did not flee. When I was within arms reach, He chuckled and muttered, "yummy" By then I'd had enough of him, So I poked him in the tummy! He grunted and waddled away, His belly full of my food, And as I went about cleaning up, I muttered, "racoons can be so rude!" "Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. And all you can do is to go where they can find you." ~Winnie the Pooh [This message has been edited by SmittenKitten (edited 07-05-2001).] |
