Possum Poetry (for those who don't get morning emehls)
7@Possum_Skull
"Possum parts, no longer playing
Cleaned and bleached for best displaying
As I live and breathe no more
Just an objet de décor
Osteo-framework remains
Void where once sat ‘possum brains
Stripped and gone, my soft tissue
My marrows, and my morrows too
If, on the day before I died
By weird clairvoyance I’d have spied
These dried out pieces of myself
This braincase knick-knack on a shelf
What insights might have kindled here?
Epiphanic, with death near?
A rasping voice from ghostly throat:
“Man, I shoulda bought that boat”

And in case it wasn’t clear, I’m just quoting @Possum_Skull who has mad skills for turning a phrase from the beyond (or the shelf…whatever).
@gio I have to say that this was the first one I enjoyed. Go possum head!
My daughter and I await whatever season 4 will be. Long live(?) The Possum Head Chronicles!
How come I can’t see anything else by @Possum_skull? The one in the morning emehl for the carpet knife was excellent…
@oilgod You are right; it would be nice to have @Possum_skull poetry collected somewhere for posterity. Meanwhile, s/he has been performing in the meh emails on Saturdays, so be sure to watch your inbox (or spam folder) every week for the latest masterpiece.

A ‘possum’s a ‘possum, and ‘possums is awesome
A ‘possum’s a ‘possum, you know
Yes, ‘possums is awesome, ask someone who’s saw some
He’ll tell you, because it is so

Our noses are pink as begonias in blossom
Our faces are pale as the snow
Our teeth sharp as razors and strong ‘cause we floss ‘em
Like wee gnashy knives in a row

Be kind to a ‘possum when you come across him
Treat him as friend, not as foe
Perhaps you’ve a hard-boiled egg you can toss him
Withdraw some safe distance, and go

@matthew I have started reading those horrible daily emails just in case there is possum poetry. I love this one. Any chance of a video with it?
I mean, any chance? Sure! But not a great one.
I adore the possum skull poetry.
OK Meh staff after you put together a coffee table book of Possum Skull Poetry I want a book of Hyram’s fractured song lyrics, and then you can start on one with the Li’l Reprobates discourses. Thank you in advance.
