Ah, well, since I (obviously) need practice, here are a few ferret
haikus I made up (wow, even the signature).
 
Back, hop, skid, back, BOUNCE!
Hey, what's this I backed into?
Maybe it will play!
 
Playful and loving,
the ferrets hop about, then
curl up on your lap.
 
The most curious
bundles of fur possible
explore to no end.
 
My bouncy girlfriend
surprisingly weighs only
one and a half pounds.
 
What do ferrets see
when we look down upon them?
Hopefully, our love.
 
Though slightly mouselike,
don't mistake them as rodents;
they are mustelids.
 
Carnassial teeth
reveal them as carnivores.
Check the bones, also.
 
Looking through a tube
I spy another ferret.
Now I wag my tail!
 
Vets see bones and flesh,
but I'm sure ferrets contain
springs or jet engines.
 
This sock is mine, now.
If you need it, take a look
in my treasure trove.

Dors and Seldon, little friends
(subjects for haiku).
