Being a ‘Possum Must
be Rough
A Dachshund’s Night Patrol
Being a ‘possum can only be rough
Dragged all over the yard by a dachshund
A furious dachshund half its size
Until it collapses into a faint
And unconscious cannot see the absurdity
Of this old man chasing the dachshund all over the yard
Explaining that the ‘possum is a beneficent species
Demanding obedience, and receiving none
It’s not at all biblical, but even so
I command the dog to let my ‘possum go
(No ‘possums were harmed in the making of this minor marsupial
motion picture)
