Deb Kelly Poet Rhyme

The Thief

Did wily raccoon steel my suet?
Only a day after I put it
Securely to a pole, or so I thought
For my backyard birds, I had bought
But today I wondered where it went
The whole feeder was gone in an instant
Through tangled vines and bushes thick
How did she pull off this nefarious trick?
Surely squirrels or a fluffy rabbit couldn't
Steal my cage with my newly bought suet
Guess dinner's on me for mama's brood
Gotta love that wily Raccoon

Beryl Edmonds May 25, 2021 at 8:35 AM One has to forgive wily raccoon for stealing the bird food. I once had a feeder stolen by someone over night. We had bought it for the birds and Cyril the squirrel who’d pay us an entertaining visit. You can’t believe that anyone would do such a thing, but some rascals do. Belle
