The Raccoon

The morning quiet It did not last long I was doing chores In another room The quiet broken Maggie growls and barks She is excited I went to see why Outside the glass door Upon the wide deck Stood a huge raccoon Eating the peanuts Then eating bird seeds He had a big feast The birds and the squirrels Ran off in a big rush From the huge raccoon They were scared of him

What a lovely thing to see Darlene, no wonder Maggie was excited, saw the racoon as an invader. Tom

What a sight dearest Darlene! Once, camping on the top of Rosemond mountains near, Montreal, in the middle of the night I heard something approaching! The footsteps were becoming louder and louder on the dead leaves and then they stopped after that the sound of repeated sniffs caught my attention . I took my flashlight opened my tent and walked out holding a knife in my hand for I did not know what I would see! To my surprise a large Racoon stood there looking at me ! Thank God it was not a wolf! Thank you for reminding me that!
