A Possum of Worldly Descent Oh My

There was a possum of worldly descent Gathering diamonds and things it had spent Chasing a catfish down dragonfly row Wanting to see if it was someone to know Laughed at an aardvark with tangerine pants Filling it's pockets with yesterday's ants Climbed up a staircase that led to the sky Waving at meadowlarks, saying goodbye Chewed on a cabbage it found by the gate Wondering if it was something it ate Sat down alone, which was normal you see Crying those tears as it hoped it could be Somebody's friend that he never could find Merely a possum, just pay him no mind He'll get along, it's just something to do And if he passes in front of you Maybe just smile and tell him hello He might be somebody you'd like to know Or let him be without well wishes sent For he's just a possum of worldly descent For the Dandelions Tiger Lillian and Bear berries Oh My Poetry Contest Sponsored by Maureen McGreavy
