Well done. This is a fun poem. When all else fails, steal someone's trash - or when faced with a curse or a limitation, make the best of it. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Hahaha.
One's just as good as the other, right, Anonymous Poet?.
Love...trash...not much difference there, except that trash tastes better.
Cute animal 5-7-5, and it's actually sorta witty, as asked for.
Best wishes to you in the contest.

Comment from Louise Michelle
Racoons are such beautiful animals, but also such pesks. Stealing trash isn't so bad when you consider that they can also break into your homes. It took us two years to get rid of one in our attic. Long story - don't ask, LOL. Best Wishes, Lou

Hi Lou, I haven't had that kind of experience with them and no, I won't ask;^) Thanks for weighing in!
Comment from Gail Denham
Ahhh. What a cute face. But oh beware. They love that trash. Plus some of them get big enough that we daren't leave our small dog out to quarrel with them. They are clever. You've made that clear also. Nice job.

How cute, what a perfect picture to give life to your words. The raccoon certainly has the face of a bandit. I love it "love to win your hear...will steal your trash." Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about the racoon seeking a relationship but the girls are very weary about the thief's mask and will not become his lovers. He is forced to steal the trash.

This is an excellent humorous animal 5-7-5 poem for the contest
The raccoon may look cute, but it is a rather dangerous creature
and very destructive, too.
Now some masked beings, like Zorro are quite romantic.
Excellent picture to match
Good luck in the contest
