Poem

I wanted a pet, but one more unique
than a bird or a dog or a cat.
So I went onto Craig’s List so I could seek
a ferret! Yes, I sure fancied that.

I found a ferret and bought him a leash,
but he’d slither away from my view.
He never would keep in his own niche.
Oh, boy, what was I going to do?

My ferret just vanished. Ummm, actually,
when he got loose in my neighborhood,
I simply stopped looking for him; I suppose
he’s living nearby now in the wood!

There was a raccoon, slipped into my house
through a small doggy door that I  had,
destroyed my kitchen – and worse than a mouse -
he eats tons, and he bites when he’s mad!

That racoon I never again want to see.
My house he made look like a pig sty.
I closed up the doggy door. Racoon, bye-bye!
Go play with the squirrels in my tree.

I heard that a skunk might make a good pet.
They are friendly, so playful and sweet.
My de-scented skunk just hasn’t learned yet
to stop peeing on top of the sheet.

Ferrets, racoons, and skunks – oh my!
If you’re better at training than me,
perhaps a sweet skunk you’d like to buy?
Better yet, you can have him for free!
