Misty the Ferret

Misty the ferret was quite ordinary,
As far as ferrets go,
She liked to do ferret things,
In tunnels she loved to go.
The folks at Peterson Air Force Base,
Which is in Colorado,
Had a tricky sort of problem,
So Misty they got to know.
Some computer cables needed drawing,
Through 40 narrow feet,
Many methods had been tried,
And the swearing I won't repeat.
But Misty did it in record time,
Emerging feeling fine,
Saving the taxpayers thousands, and
The missile warning centre was online.
Misty amazed them with her intelligence,
She was glad to play her part,
And all she asked for in return,
Was a strawberry Pop-Tart.

All true - it was reported by The Associated Press in 1999. (Party over, oops, we're out of time.)
