Ferrets, Racoons, and Skunks, Oh My

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!
