Opossum on the Road
I saw an opossum on the road~
His fur parted~
Blowing in the blustery breeze.
Greys~
Blues~
White.
I saw an opossum on the road~
Black daintily clawed paws~
A button nose sniffed the air~
With partial fright.
I saw an opossum on the road~
He looked at me~
As I drove by~
Two beady eyes~
As black as night.
For one split second~
His eyes met mine.
I saw an opossum on the road~
He saw me~
Than he went on~
Eating his dinner~
Where he dined.
I saw an opossum on the road~
He very intent on survival~
I not much of a~
Disruption at this time.
I saw an opossum on the road~
His coat a ruffle~
As he turned~
To look quick at me.
I saw an opossum on the road~
He was back to~
Being busy under~
The shade of the trees.
I saw an opossum on the road~
He supped~
As I leered~
At the sight.
I saw an opossum on the road~
Soon his small face~
And frame at a distance~
As I drove further~
Out into the sun-downed light.
I saw an opossum on the road.
