Wannabe Wallaby Poem by Clive Culverhouse

so

a possum who wanted to be
not a possum but a wallaby

but

a wallaby who wanted to be
a whatever whatever he

and more

like an adventurer high
in a hot air balloon
or an astronaut off
on a trip to the moon

or even

a rider of horses
bicycles, waves
an explorer of mountains
of oceans and caves

wow!

a whatever whoever
wherever he

oh possum

the wishes and whims
of a wannabe wallaby
