Howdy!! I take neither the credit nor the blame for the following. My father-in-law wrote it. He does not own ferrets, and his wife does NOT appreciate it when we come visiting with the Stinkies in tow. But, HE loves them, and to show this (and to spite her, I think), he wrote: Ferrets Ferrets can be very provocative Because they're extreamly inquisative They hide in brief cases Undo your shoe laces They're impish, of that I'm quite positive Ferrets are never ever boring They can be very emploring When its raisons they seek In every corner they'll peek Columbus, they beat you exploring Ferrets are very exciting And they really don't do any biting They cuddle, they nuzzle They gurgle, they guzzle They're really very inviting A ferret is a fine little fellow In general he's really quite mellow But you know where he went 'Cause he gives off a scent He's there--he's under the pillow OK, OK, It's not "Under the Sofa". But I thought it cute! Kelly and Michael, The Feline Furries and Ferret Fuzzies [Posted in FML issue 0785]
