A Possum's Tale Poem by Bob Gibson

So true and wonderful to readl! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Sadly I trap them!

I enjoyed reading this poem, it brought a smile to my face. No possum in SAfrica, we have small antelope to contend with. Bob

But for him i had to cross two fields! i really enjoyed this line...you said it right, Bob..i have always noticed frogs jump towards light...words humorous easy going...10

Poor possum! We have two possums go crashing over our roof every night up to no good I would say. In Australia kangaroos are mesmerized my head lights and they put huge dents in cars. Well written with a great ending! love Karin

For several million years, in fact for the entire time possums were becoming possums, the only bright light at night was the moon. Instinct takes a long time to learn new tricks. Of course this doesn't explain why a possum would stare at the moon, but then again it may explain why we humans stare at tv's.

Sad narrative as far as the possum went Bob - - but told, as your readers have already said, with style and humour..... loved your last line too! ! you are in good form with your wit Bob.... now I must go write one about the slugs which keep getting run over around here.... uuugh maybe not though! ! 10 + ++ Fay.

A good poem that only a country boy could write. Regards Ron

Hi Bob. I've often seen rabbits act just the same when caught in the headlights they just freeze and hope for the best. Good read well done Regards Dave T
