Raccoon you better be cool
Thought I saw you on Broadway
Eating King Fish’s barbecue
Some people claim raccoon you pretty
Swear raccoon tame like a kitty
But raccoon bites you if you get too close
I saw raccoon on Lenox Avenue
Stealing milk from a baby
Thought I saw a black cat on the corner
But it was nothing but old raccoon
Raccoon let me school you
Raccoon you know you too country
You better leave the city
Raccoon they got rats in New York City
Big as you and just as ornery
Nobody in Harlem studying you raccoon
So you better go about your business
Raccoon you better get wise
Look what playing possum got the possum

LOL good one. Lots of fun to read. Is it your original work?
No, fredamans. I don't know why the author didn't show up, but it's Calvin Forbes. It is a really fun poem!
