Notes About The Poem

The Owl and Raccoon

There once was a silly raccoon
 He slept in a tree until noon
 He came down to play
 He decided to stay
 He danced a jig to a tune

 Val the Cross-eyed Owl
 She saw his jig and said-"WOW"!
 The Owl and Raccoon
 Then danced to the tune
 She stepped on his tail then he "HOWLED"

 The raccoons name is Harry
 Miss Val lets you and I get married
 The Owl and Raccoon
 Were married in June
 They lived in a tree near the prairie
