My ferret has merits beyond compare;
All snuffly and muffly and hidden down there.
If you want to meet her, her hours are crepuscular
You’ll scent that she’s there, you can tell by the musk of her
She’s earthy and gamey with honey beneath,
Tangy and salty and also quite sweet.
She’s a sleekit wee beastie if ever there were;
All slinky and playful and covered in fur
She’ll slip through your fingers, she’ll tickle your skin
She likes to be out, you can’t keep her in
She’s funny and naughty, she’s nobody’s wife
Destroyer of worlds, she could ruin your life
If you’re good you can rub her little pink nose,
But just mind your fingers – she’s sharp teeth, tha knows.
