Nice, snappy.
Raccoons do have such rakish good looks. They are the perfect critter to suggest a summer fling. Fun word play. .
Love it.
Made me :) Sondra!

Great haiku Sondra. I love the playful furtiveness. And the image of the raccoon with the roguish mask works at several levels.
Really enjoyable.
