Playful Ferrets

Watching them zipping in or out

as they bobbing up and down

with a quick flash of a tail 

inquisitive eyes all around

never staying still for very long

racing past you in a moment

then nosing at everything

ferrets full of merriment.

haring all around the garden

chasing others through the grass

then pouncing on all that moves

peering through french window glass

popping up in daft places

exploring all our treasures

with bright eyes and cheerful smiles

these awesome playful creatures

soft of fur and a cheeky grins

hear them chittering all the while

sharp teeth that gnaw happily through toys

these sweet ferrets have their own style,

at the end of a playful day

with sleepy eyes, they curl up tight

inside their soft comfy snugs, as

they fall asleep, we say good night!
