I Was the Goon Who Chose the Raccoon

The horses’ lacy white petticoats and ribboned pantaloons
Were kicked almost as high as a delightful orange harvest moon.
The anger came from the big burly brown baboons
Who were left out by the snotty uppity raccoon.
I felt like an uninformed ridiculous goon,
Because I had assigned the notorious snotty coons
The task of doling out the petticoats and the pantaloons.

Now all I can picture is a raccoon in pantaloons! Thanks for the grin :)

Sometimes my whimsical side flies, this was one of those.

What a fun delightful humorous rhyme, Caren. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Line, I am in "childhood fun" mode, wanting to bring it with me to school.
