Rat-citement, redux!

Another student contribution. It is at times like these that I know I chose the right profession. Beautiful poetry!


"Masked Anti-Hero"

Sneaky: a birthright, thou covers thy face,
A brow fitted with a mask-like guise.
Here now and then gone without a trace,
Stealthy by nature makes thee seem wise.

Pitter, patter, goes thy nimble feet,
Thy long stripped tail whips past my window.
As I watch thy paws begin to creep,
And out my door, I start to follow.

One man’s trash is another’s treasure,
Seeing thee stand there, I begin to smirk.
Through my refuse, I see thee measure,
To fill thy belly, tuna might work.

Raccoon: Name synonymous with pest,
But tonight, be my honored house guest.
