Midnight Snacks

39 Comments

It was almost midnight when Reggie Raccoon came to visit. He was blinded by the light so he didn’t do anything but squirm in this eight-second video clip. Then I took pity on him and turned off the camera.

But he had some words for me:

I heard about the sunflower seeds,

And walnuts with a crack,

My raccoon family proceeds

To have a midnight snack.

And may your year be bountiful,

As mine is here always,

With food forever plentiful,

It will improve your days.

 

So have a happy year ahead,

May all of you get fat,

A tiny bit of waistline spread,

There’s nothing wrong with that.

    Poor nervous Reggie must have been wondering, what is she going to do with me. Wishing you all the best in 2024 Anneli and more posts about your friends. Allan

    Reggie doesn’t seem to be on a diet. Hehe. His waistline is a bit fluffy. A cute poem, Anneli, and wish for the new year. May you and the captain and all your critters have a wonderful new year. Hugs.

    What a fun poem and wonderful photos, Anneli. They really are cute and look so cuddly even though they can be aggressive. Their looks are deceiving. Happy New Year!

    Adorable photos, Anneli. Whatever happened to the classic New Year’s resolution to lose weight?

    Most definitely a well-fed raccoon. Reggie hasn’t missed many a meal.
