Exotic Pets: the Kinkajou
is not a bear
no, he's a cute little kinkajou.
Tail like a monkey
size of a cat
he's a raccoon's cousin it's true
He's a rainforest furball
loves fruit and warmth
that soft and snuggly kinkajou,
with big brown eyes
and fast little feet
that go back and forward too.
He chirps and whistles
and barks and hoots
that noisy, chatty kinkajou.
But only at night
cause he sleeps all day
He's nocturnal, thought you knew.
Keep in mind
he could live to be 23
long lives the kinkajou!
P.S.
Check it out locally
to see if he is legal
or the health folks will get after you.
And don't wake him up
he might just bite,
that drowsy kinkajou.
