Masked Marauder

The raccoon is a burglar … 
There’s no door he can’t unlatch.

Baby hand-prints in the butter?
You can bet Raccoon’s found that!

We have confronted a raccoon in our garage a couple of times this summer....stealing the dog's food. He stands his ground...!! Isn't a bit afraid of us...(I think I'm more afraid than he is!!) Cute poem, Frances!!

Raccoon can be an intruder and a thief. Like the idea. Keep writing. Sara
