Possession

Perhaps because of his youth
he's unaware nature had
designed him to be nocturnal.
Perhaps his mama whom we've 
seen with him at night failed
to adequately address the issue.
Just as well then, we've put up
temporary barriers between the
backyard composters and access
for our two little dogs who
obviously fail to realize they
are adequately fed a species
specific-appropriate diet and
kitchen waste is not their treat.
In any event, the fuzzy little
fellow with the clever hands is
self-appointed custodian now
during daylight hours of the
compost bins, daintily picking
about in there to satisfy his
undeniable ownership cravings.
