Judy Ball Poet Quatrain

Weasel

Tiny little weasel,
Sneaking 'round the house,
Searching for a midnight snack,
A chick, a kit or mouse.

Crafty little rascal,
Scurries here and there,
Must find enough to feed the brood,
A bird, a pup or hare.

Nocturnal little scavenger,
Omnivorous opportunist,
Relentless once he spots his prey,
A formidable impugnist.

Cute little weasel,
Can be really sweet.
Cut the little guy some slack,
We all have got to eat.

                                Judy Ball

Just make sure your pets and live stock are well protected.

Richard Moriarty August 17, 2011 at 6:39 PM I don't know much about weasel's, but they do sound like our coyotes, because they have been eating my cats. Rich Judy Ball August 17, 2011 at 7:17 PM They keep the mice population down and will grab anything they can kill and eat so you have to watch your chickens, kittens and puppies. Thanks bunches my friend. God Bless, JB
