An Ode To Three Possums In The Middle Of The Road
by Micky Dee

It’s a “cycling day" and I simply must ride.
It’s too pretty a day to remain inside.

The world is refreshed and is all brand new.
What a beautifully glorious day to pursue!

So many plants boldly display their blossoms.
But the roads are alive with a lot of dead possums.

If this possum plays possum for very long,
The smell will become impossibly strong.

O-possum what has rigor mortis taught us?
Did you lose the race with the hare and the tortoise?

There’s no one here to make note of his passing.
Of course the circling vultures are amassing.

Was the cause of the death ruled a suicide?
Or was the possum in the road to “hitch a ride”?

No one is there to draw a chalk line.
There is no respect to erect a little shrine.

There won’t be a formal autopsy performed.
The buzzard’s dinner is merely being warmed.

This possum has gone as many before.
But why was he there? Was he heading to the store?

And just down the road is another road-kill.
Was she in the road against her will?

O-possum why are you lying there dead?
Apparently a car has run over her head!

Now another possum carcass is in the same lane.
Was there fowl play or were they all insane.

Was it an accident or a sordid plot?
This is what I wonder as their bodies rot.

Except for that tell-tale tail, each could be a cat.
That tail protrudes while all else is flat.

One marsupial seems to have a sinister grin.
A speeding car gives the corpse a spin!

Weren’t they warned about possible danger?
Were two led astray by acts of a stranger?

There’s a void about their recent brief history.
Alas, we’ll never solve this nagging mystery.

No solutions are offered as their bodies corrode.
One rodent bloats- and may soon explode.

Let’s at least place some flowers or Mardi Gras beads?
Let’s dress up the road as the possum bleeds.

It’s with a heavy heart that I pin this “ode”.
For the three dead possums in the middle of the road!

The only reason I doubt that you wrote this fine piece yourself, Zemmy, is because of potential bittul Toiro involved.
But a fine piece it is.

anyone for some jabberwocky?
