PrintPoem – Rocky the Raccoon (By Danny P. Barbare)
Rocky the Raccoon
On a cold winter night
the raccoon eats pecans
under the tree.
It keeps its distance or
rather I keep mine.
I can hear its sharp
teeth grinding on the
paper shell.
Wild!
It stops.
So I pick one up off
the driveway and
toss it its way
to show the world can
be kind
even to a raccoon
eating our delicious
pecans. Eat up! Eat up!
I say!
You need a belly full
before it snows.
