Mink in Winter
He ran across the stones so wet,
but he ran across so fleet and without any fret.
just to get to the other side,
so very far and very wide.
Then off to find some food he eyed,
some eggs and young he didn't mind. He was a mink so very white for winter,
he was fun to be with and fun to watch.
Skipping and jumping across the water, going to places where he did not ought to.
He took the family food back with him.
Soon his wife did snuggle up with him and he snuggled back,
he did some snarling when down came a rat.
His mouth opened, his snarl was intense,
now the rat backed away up the hole.
The mink was not to be outdone,
he made the rat to turn and run.
He then made sure he had won.
He was mink, he passed on to his brood of sons
all the things that mink had done, so they could carry on with what they did:
mink in winter and in summer mink were mink.
