FERRET POEM
Author: Rebecca


Why Ferrets?

I.m often asked .why ferrets?. To all the people who.ve ever asked me that, this is my reply:

It.s the dook,
The war dance,
And the playful nibbles.

It.s the mess,
Digging the litter,
And spreading the kibble.

It.s the naps,
The sleepy face,
And the quiet moments together.

It.s chasing a ball,
Ferret bowling,
And playing outside in all kinds of weather.

I love ferrets in so many ways, there is no way to answer the question .why ferrets?. because when you ask me that, it.s clear that you.ve never met my babies.

Inside the Eyes of Moonlight
Author:Monika and Moonlight(friend ferret)


You climbed onto my shoulder
You held on for my life
You would help me if a boulder came crashing down

Some people are scared of this creature
But when I look into his eyes
I see no evil spirits just the pit of the night

He sleeps like an angel
Looks like a holy god
He is one of Jesus' creations to cherish forever

They will be your new friend forever
Until the ends of the earth
There are no words to express my feelings

Thank you Moonlight for all the things you have done for me
For gently showing the way when confused
I know what you feel and know what you say
But I cant compare to the glisten in your eyes

FERRETS ARE GORGEOUS
Author: Kyla


They have wet noses that glimmer in the sunlight and glisten in the moonlight
Their fur is as soft as a silkworm's body and as slick as an empty lake
Their eyes go on forever and ever and ever
Why, I must say a ferret is a gorgeous creature

ODE TO BANDIT
Author: Michelle Huston


You war-danced your way
Straight into my heart;
Forever, I knew you would stay.

Through pooping and nipping
You kept your allure;
Mischievous was always your way.

You showed me your love
When you flipped upside down
And fell right to sleep in my arms.

With every new day
You kept me amused;
I couldn’t resist all your charms.

And now you have journeyed
Far over the Bridge;
You’re still with me, although you’re gone.

You’re always my weasel,
My sweet Bandit-man;
Dance on, little boy, dance on!

TRIXIE, THE FERRET
Author: Ellie


She dooks and she dances,
She mines through the dirt.
She leaps and he prances,
She crawls in old shirts.
She hides in her box,
As sly as fox,
Then she leaps out,
and nips at your socks.
She drags her toy turtle
All over the floor,
She digs at the carpet under the door.
she steals my things,
trading cards and key rings.
She prowls the room and creeps around,
Looking for treasures upon the ground,
She’s like a pirate in search of loot,
But unlike a pirate, she’s really cute!

Cheeno - Our Ferret
Author: Happylife


Sweet cinnamon boy, you filled our hearts with joy.
On that day you came to stay.
You zipped around with out a care.
You jumped you dooked and frolicked about.
There were many things you liked especially chocolate
if only you could get a bite.
To calm you down not to disappoint we hung a cheaweasle for you to munch.
When board with that Snafu you would find
and suck on his ears though he really did not mind.
It is so very quiet with out you near no hammock digging can we here,
all that scratching and scraping any one would think
you were fluffing your bed up before your sleep.
Then sadly one day you got sick we tried every thing to make you
Well and for a while it worked .
It was a joy to see you zipping about again.
Then at the tender age of 3 you left us one warm sunny day in the month of may .
Oh sweet Cinnamon boy now our hearts cry with sorrow.
Knowing there will be no seeing you tomorrow.
You really were a homely boy, as many a time as a treat ,
I would try to take you for a walk down our street.
You would struggle and strain on your leash then run back in side again
to the home you know so safe and sound
then straight to the kitchen you would bound .
No cupboard was safe from your ferrety nose especially the cats biscuits that you chose.
You were never a shy boy when the camera was out you like to pose and look so cute,
with your cinnamon coat and eyes of darkest coal
whiskers so long you really were a handsome boy.
We are so grateful you liked to pose as you left us with lovely memories to cherish.
Sweet Cinnamon boy be happy shine and dook
Forever at the rainbow bridge.
And forever know you were truly loved and we are so thankful
you shared your short life with us.
Our sweet and gentle cinnamon boy.

In memory of our sweet Cheeno
