Hello All. The prompt today was to write a humorous rant, and one of the examples was about raccoons who get into garbage cans. Well my brain turned it into a rant from a raccoon. And only one line is stolen from Shakespeare. Thank you for reading.
Trash Panda’s Lament
The Trash Panda's Lament (A Raccoon Sonnet) On midnight dews, my dinner should commence. Oh foul vine threading on thy chain link fence. I would climb thee to trash bin reverie But there hangest mine long green enemy. Waxy shine mocks my gluttonous craving, Thou hairy leaves, you force me to raving. The rankest compound of villainous smell! Tendrils wrapping chain, a viney citadel. Those bins, I do sense, are now concealing Corn, fish, and berry pie, most appealing. With every attempt my climb is rebuked As my path is blocked by a vine that’s cuked. Cucumis Sativus, fruits I abhor! These cucumber vines will force me next door.
Well done with this Meg, I love it. You say you only used one line of Shakespeare, yet the whole piece mirrors his writing.

Thank you Matt. I enjoy channeling Shakespeare. It’s all about the syllables:)
Love, love this, Meg. Brilliant. Of course, I love the last line for how it made me smile. That raccoon is a wise one. he knows what he likes and what he doesn’t. Hehe!
And yes, congratulations on the feature today. Well deserved. Happy writing and I wish you miracles.
Thank you Selma for your comments and support. Miracles back at you!
