Recently visited FML penpal (she's beautiful & her ferrets are great!) and
she had the same Far Side cartoon as I did--the one with the Monkey and the
Weasel in the courtroom. . .which reminded me I haven't sent this yet:
 
  Ferret Toys  (tune: "Pop! Goes The Weasel")
 
A ferret's very fond of his toys
In fact, he's quite possessive
If you so much as look at his toys
He'll think you're too aggressive!
 
     To re-arrange a ferret's toys
     Is strict-a-ly forbidden
     He goes to great lengths to make sure
     His toys are safely hidden!
 
I found my ferret's favorite toy
His little stuf-fed rabbit
No sooner did I pick it up
Than he popped out to grab it!
 
     To pick up a ferret's squee-eeky toy
     And give a little squeeze'll
     Rouse him from the deepest nap--
     Determined little weasel!
 
(moral)
So stay away from your ferret's toys
And with them, do not play-ay
Just be thankful that he'll always
Put his toys away!
