Ferrets!
 
Oh, the Joy!
Oh, the Pain!
 
Why?
 
Education of Love.
Responsibility of Another.
Nuturing of Growth.
 
Oh, how they play!
Oh, how they ill!
So much to learn.
     - All of us.
 
Do they bite?
    - They have teeth, fool.
All are different.
    - Each wanting you to understand.
Listen, for they have so much to teach.
 
My heart loves so.
My soul aches so.
Oh, how these mustilades have changed all around me.
 
A ferret in your life:
     - It's to be or not.
You will know from the start
     - if you are willing to hear.
They give to you so completely.
 
We need to learn to do the same.
