Wannabe Wallaby

    so

a possum who wanted to be
not a possum but a wallaby

    but 

a wallaby who wanted to be
a whatever whatever he

    and more

like an adventurer high
in a hot air balloon
or an astronaut off
on a trip to the moon

    or even

a rider of horses
bicycles, waves
an explorer of mountains
of oceans and caves

    wow!

a whatever whoever
wherever he

   oh possum

the wishes and whims
of a wannabe wallaby
