POSSUM JUGGLING Written By the Poets Listed After The Poem. Possum juggling is a trick conjuring sport. You should never do it if your arms are short. Nasty teeth are gnashing as they're tossed in air. The juggling of possums requires flair. Full-grown possum are very massive fellows. Their bulk when lifted, like handling jell-o. They are so at ease as they fly through the trees. Are you ever so tall? Fight them on your knees! Though cuddly and soft, please never be smitten. Asleep they appear, in a flash you're bitten. Upon one look, so UN-cute the ragged claw! Surely reminds me of my mother in-law. In my compost bin found this fury creature. Pointed nose, stinky as my English teacher- For that part which sticks out of the can at dark. Not a pretty site though pink, duck. It’s a fart! Quickly grab his leg and throw him really high Let the little blaster soar into the sky! Be quick, juggler, Granny Clampett is waiting It's possum stew she hopes to be creating Wait, I forgot! My arms are too short for this. Now on my face sprinkles a souring mist. The moral of this story, surely you see! Never juggle opossums! Just let them be… Contributed Poets (in alphabetical order) Charma Chircop, Austin Daver, Carolyn Devonshire, James Frazer, Robin Gass, James M. Goff, Raul Moreno, John Robbins, James Peranteau, Dane Smith-Johnsen,
