A cute little bandit

A CUTE LITTLE BANDIT

I CAME UPON A LITTLE RACOON
IN THE PATH I WAS IN, HIS EYES HAD
ROUND BLACK CIRCLES HE SEEMED
TO SMILE AT ME, BUT WHEN I TRIED
TO FEED HIM HE WAS SCARED AND
RAN AWAY.  THAT MADE ME SAD
YES-SIREE.

I SAW SOME MORE LITTLE ANIMALS
GAVE MY RACOON COURAGE I
GUESS, CAUSE HE JUST CREEPED
BACK UP AND ATE SOME OF THE
FEED THAT I HAD PROVIDED FOR
THE REST.

THE PLACE I LIVE IS CIRCLES ALL
AROUND THE AREA WITH WOODS,
YOU SEE A SQUIRREL OR TWO, AND
 BEAUTIFUL BIRDS SOME SING A
TUNE FOR YOU, I’VE SEEN WRENS,
CARDINALS, BLUE JAYS A TIME
 OR TWO.                                                           

OUR LORD HAS PUT ALL THIS ON
OUR EARTH TO PROVIDE BEAUTY
FOR ME AND YOU.
