Possum On Board

Clean out that garage, said my wife Cause we're gonna have ourselves a sale The baseball game had been rained out So I thought I'd might as well I found my very first set of golf clubs I swung them for a minute or two Then I packed them back up with a price tag That said $50 bucks you can take 'em with you I dug a little deeper in a worn out box When I saw a pair of great big eyes I grabbed for the bat and took a step back And I was gonna catch him by surprise Well to my dismay he didn't even move He just sat there staring at me I picked it up and dusted it off And thought no it couldn't be When I had killed this possum long ago It caused my wife to go into labor On the way to the hospital I saw a taxidermist friend Who just happened to be my neighbor The day he died my daughter was born As all those memories came flooding back My daughter cried and the poor possum died When the doctor and me gave a little whack I felt like a proud daddy all over again Though my daughter is already grown I wanted to cry as I looked him in the eye But then my nose would've need blown He's not for sale I told my wife He sits in the back window of my ford I made me a sign that says you better drive careful Can't you see there's a possum on board
