Possum of Possibilities

The Possum of Possibilities was invited by Grandpa Troll to visit our brood, The Possum heard Carol had a dry spell and a terrible writer’s block, so true. With the troll’s adventures, penguin’s antics, and witches brew... With Dragon’s mayhem in town, something had to be done, they knew. Grandpa Troll brought Possum over, for Carol to peruse, He looked her up, down, and sideways to everyone’s amuse, Her mind’s wheels were not lined up right, he announced. You have activity all about you, that's very pronounced. It is all swirling around and not latching to the cogs. Ideas and stories are coming in fast and plenty, but… There are so many and they are acting like a stream of logs, Her brain is overloaded and getting a little bit clogged. Possum instructed Grandpa Troll on the best course of action, But Dragon was nearby and overheard the conversation. Our fiery friend was planning on how to clear the brain jam, Then ski-daddle and go on the lam. Like so many plans before, he knew Carol’s brain was crammed, And his ideas always ended up like some explosive spam. Grandpa Troll saw that look in Dragon’s eyes and knew there was a plot, And said to Possum; “We'll need your help again, before we’re in a spot.” Over to Dragon Possum went, then a once over, right, left, and top to bottom, Grandpa Troll reached into a dusty drawer that hadn’t seen light since Suttom. Out he pulled two pens, one larger than the other, filled with magic ink. An incantation filled the air – “E pluribus divideous writeous inlink.” (Basically saying; what stories were divided are now joined by two writers.) Possum handed one to Carol and the larger one to Dragon. “With the magic pens, you both will be able to see the stories about you.” For Carol, he pointed out; now the cogs won't get dinked, as ideas get linked, And Dragon, a source of the jams, once written down, became happy as a clam. Both help each other, now, as Grandpa Troll had hoped with all the activities. And with a little help from an old friend, called the Possum of Possibilities. A writer’s block that was going on with his dear... Is a tale that Hubby has now told, and made so clear. And now another peaceful evening… was suddenly shot all to Heck... Until Next time…. As Dragon and Carol are now racing all about! Michael Eastman & Carol Written 7-21-2015
