It Looks like I wear glasses
my coat is silver gray
my hands and feet are very dark
all in all I look okay.
**
I’m not limited to hunting
at night time or at dawn
one can find me all day long
with a face like Makeup on.
**
It seems like I am washing
my food before I eat;
this is just a fairy tale
but believe me, it looks sweet!
**
A huge trouble-maker
that is how I’m known.
People seem to want us
but no family, just alone.
**
We look very cute and friendly
but hell, can we get pissed
when one day you feed and spoil us
the next day we get dissed.
**
It’s true we can be hand-raised
tamed and trained to see
but please just do remember
we want to be wild and free.
**
I am no pet to keep at home
to hug and smooch and swoon.
by now you might have guessed
I am the cute racoon!
