I Adopted Your Ferret Today

I adopted your ferret today.

The one you left at the pound.

The one you had for five years

And no longer wanted around.

I adopted your ferret today.

Do you know he's lost weight?

Do you know he's scared and depressed

And has lost all faith?

I adopted your ferret today.

He had fleas and a cold,

But don't worry none.

You've unburdened your load.

I adopted your ferret today.

Were you having a baby or moving away?

Did you suddenly develop allergies

Or was there no reason he couldn't stay?

I adopted your ferret today.

He doesn't play or eat much.

He's very depressed,

But he will learn again to trust.

I adopted your ferret today

And here he will stay.

He's found his forever home

And a warm bed to lay.

I adopted your ferret today

And I will give him all that he could need.

Patience, love, security, and understanding.

Hopefully he will forget your selfish deed.
