While gazing to the sky out yonder
We'll sit 'n' stare, think or ponder
Which sock shall we devour today?
Which tunnel will we use for play?
 
While our eyes gaze into space
Our minds will drift, our hearts will race
We'll think of raisins gliding by
Of ferretone falling from the sky
 
Until our family returns from 'work'
(The place where toys they seem to shirk)
We'll sit and gaze and sleep and dream
And think of trouble - as a team!
 
For now we wait, and rest a while
Our bodies all in one big pile
When cages open, all at once
We'll bounce for joy and play and dance
 
Ferrets have TWO jobs you see
One through the day to dream with glee
One through the night to play and pounce
And NEVER EVER give an ounce!
 
A ferrets job is one of toys
Spread love and life and many joys
Teach others how to live and play
Teach them patience - more each day
