There Are Possums Among Us©
There are possums among us but they don’t mean to stun us
They’re just hungry like me and you
But they’re big and they’re scary
They’re menacing too
They’ll stare you down
They’ll break you down
They’ll make you frown
You know there’s no winning when they start their grinning
They’re laughing at you because you don’t know what to do
But they sure do
And they surely won’t let you forget it
So set those traps
In order to catch them
So that they can be taught a lesson
They’ll be taken home
Where they will be free to roam
And hopefully leave us alone
Boy I’ll sure be glad when they’re no more possums among us

There Are Possums Among Us©
By Felina Silver Robinson
This poem was inspired when my 21-year-old told me he had gone to take out some trash
and there was a possum staring up at him almost daring him while begging him not to put his trash on top of him
Startled by this he opted not to continue and let me know that he left the trash in front of the barrels
