Being a 'Possum Must be Rough - Doggerel

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)
