Raccoons In the Attic

Bang, bang it was 2 A.M. and everything came crashing down. Bang, Bang it was 2 A.M. - I jumped up, frantically looking around. The noise emanated from the attic, so, I unlatched the door. To my shock and surprise, I saw 3 raccoons rolling around on the floor. They had knocked down books and toys and even the sleds for the snow. When I screamed, hysterically, they knew it was time to go. The roof guy came and patched up the hole in the roof in an attempt to defy. I considered the matter concluded and decided to get some shut-eye. But as it’s said a raccoon’s wiliness is known and renowned. So, that night: bang, bang it was 2 A.M. and everything came crashing down.

This happened to a friend of mine. The raccoons had dug out a little hole in the side of her attic. They are resourceful and determined. You have stated this well in this well-penned poem.
