    Very cute poem. Very clever. I've seen a few possums up close. Yuch!!! Nice way to see humor in not so humorous things.

    Had me cracking up! That was so creative... and is totally something I'd do... put my own words to a song :)

    And yikes! Tell me you got that picture with a ZOOM lens instead of close up!

    Thanks for joining along!

    Oh I didn't take the picture...sorry i found one online. It was dark which made it even freakier! But I was within 2 feet of it. Not cool! I really don't mean to feed it! The cats have to eat...lol.

    That is SOOOOO funny. I have a future True Story Tuesday about a possum eating cat food and my dad mistaking it (in the dark)for one of our cats, then screaming like a little girl when he discovered the correct kinda critter he was petting. May I steal your poem? I will give you credit! I promise! LOL

    Our neighbors caught on the other day & had animal control pick it up. Those animals just freak me out.

    Lisa- Go for it, I just came up with it off the top of my head. I would freak if I petted one!
    They are ugly and that hissing is awful. Animal control won't even come pick up dogs and cats, they are sure not going to get a possum. They just tell us to shoot them (all animals) because we are out in the boonies nad everyone drops out their animals here. I always try to give the dogs and cats away. I don't worry about the cats as much because there are cats out in the woods and barns and they do kill mice so ya know?!?!

    Haha...
    The nerve of the creature to hiss at you while eating the food you've provided!
    He is kinda cute though. ;)
