Strange Relationship

Now the feline and the masked loony coon.
They steal the deal when they enter the room.
The raccoon and the cat, rat-a-tat-tat. 
Fire station seems to be where they are at.

A pair of cuties you see, plain they be,
of all things to be, they’re fireman, you see.
Cat has pulmonary resuscitation… 
coon has CPR certification. 

Raccoon many days saved the cat’s nine lives,
working pair like spouses never they strive.
Cat to raccoon, “We need  to marry soon,
there is talk around town you Loony coon!”

Raccoon to cat, “I’ve carried you today,
guess mixed relation is given away,
oh say can you see our children to be,
rat-coon-cats or loony-tune-cat-coons, see..

We’re unlikely pair, guess people will stare,
know not how our mixed relation will fare,
we’ll chatter and purr showing them our fur,
then chatter the matter up fire ladder!” 

For Francine Roberts 
Contest: Tell Me About It!

How clever, John!!! You must have given this one a lot of thought. Never even considered they were firemen but there was a fire extinguisher in the photo, so you took a creative approach. Had to laugh wondering what they would call their children. Some people still "stare" at mixed relations and this is a terrific metaphor as well. My crystal ball reveals a high placement in the future for this poem! Love you, Carolyn
