Raccoon Song



Raccoon tapping on the windowpane
Fuzzy beggar, growing tame
Evenings longer, midnights colder
My love and I
Just a little bit older

Quarter moon above the trees
Wind blows softly, rustling leaves
Would you love me if I lost my hair?
No, my dear
And don't you dare

Dog curling by the potbelly stove
Whiskers peek from the old mouse hole
Grandma's quilt has a brand new patch
No more cookies
Or I'll get fat

Rocking chair got a squeak again
Sniff the air, smells like rain
Horned owl hoots from out the wood
I believe
All life is good

Before I die I want to know
All the winds and why they blow
All the forests, every stream
Why you smile
When you dream

Joe Cottonwood

Hi Sam!!

Love "Raccoon Song" poem!!

My kids had a pet raccoon. They are so loveable, and funny. They can eat as much as a large dog. Our raccoon ate dog food.
