Lawrence Hall, HSG
Old Mr. ‘Possum and
the Moon
Old
Mr. ‘Possum is a garbageman
Who
quietly works his appointed nightly rounds
Unappreciated
as he tidies this
And
cleans up that, all without any fuss
The
other animals don’t seem to like him much
For
his wobbling, waddling walk, his untidiness
His
pointy nose, his all-draggledy tail
And
his awkward shape like a loaf of oaf
But
when he lifts his eyes to the queen of the skies
He
knows that to her he is a knight in disguise
