Very cute verse and illustration. Both complement each other.
Like your 'bandit mask' imagery. The illustration is a perfect match for that (-:
Good luck in your contest.

I enjoyed this read, unknown poet. You captured the sentiment of this animal perfectly in my opinion. I mean, look at that face. Nice job and good luck in the contest.

Comment from LIJ Red
I put out pans of Nine Lives for my raccoons and possums. If you would do so remember 'coons don't salivate...leave some water, too...and it's still a bad idea to alter wild creatures instincts and caution unless you live 'way out like me....
oh, excellent witty beast 5/7/5...

You have made effective use of every syllable in this charming, amusing 5-7-5. This piece shows effort to say much in few words. I especially like the last line!

Comment from Mrs. KT
Hah!
That little bugger and his brothers are frequent visitors to our deck and yard! They surely do look like little bandits. I love them though...not too destructive. Our cat was totally non-plussed when two frequent raccoon visitors would pay him a visit...
A well-crafted 5/7/5...and yes, witty as well!
Thank you for sharing!

Thank you, meeshu! I find them entertaining, although they are known to be quite the nuisance.
Comment from Bichon
I love this one! We don't have raccoons where I live, but I have heard they're troublesome and annoying. I will admit, they're quite cute though. Good luck in the contest!

Thanks, Bichon! Wow, I never knew that there were no wild raccoons or skunks in Ireland. Most folks would consider you lucky, but I have learned to coexist peacefully with both! Cute but very pesky...
