Raccoon Rex Ruth Donnelly 1I walk by night, in darkness. I sneak without a sound. I overturn the garbage can. Oh! What a treat I’ve found! 5I grab the picnic sandwiches. (I haven’t yet been seen.) I take my bounty to the brook, And wash it squeaky clean. I creep up to the campers’ tent 10 And snatch a hot dog bun. The campers yell. They scream and shout. But I’m just having fun! A mask of fur around my eyes, A smile upon my face, 15My paws can open garbage cans. I move with stealth and grace. I steal from people’s garden plots, From porches and from decks. Yes, I’m a fearless bandit-- 20And my name is Raccoon Rex! Read line 7 from the poem below. 7 I take my bounty to the brook, What is the meaning of the word 'bounty' from line 7 of this poem?
