Little Bandits

Little bandits raid my trash, 
hiding behind their little masks. 
The rascals have themselves a bash, 
leaving me to clean up the aftermath. 
I turn on the lights and off they dash, 
scurrying into the night in a flash, 
but all will return back very soon. 
They know I have a special fondness for the raccoon.

I like this, Billy! I think raccoons are cute, but I wouldn't want to tangle with one. Good to see you here again. Love, Kim

Thanks Kim, my computer crashed long ago and I didn't have the energy to shop for another while I was working. Couldn't post with my antiquated phone. In between jobs now so I finally got around to purchasing another laptop. Good to be back.
