Why Possums Are ThankfulA Poem by Gordon GreeneAdded Back
In this Holiday season I wanted to take the time to list some of the things I’m thankful for. No representation is made that this is a complete list of things to be thankful for or that this list is in some way indicative of the feelings of Writer’s Café or its members or that chanting it will produce rain in a given area of the universe at any particular time… But it can’t hurt! 10. I’m thankful I made it this far without becoming road-kill. 9. I’m thankful I can just hang around (it’s a possum thing.) 8. I’m thankful that my big brother looks before he sits (Thanks, Bear!) 7. I’m thankful for Mama’s possum-head biscuits (and thank you, Bear for introducing me to honey. Yum!) 6. I’m thankful for my little pink nose (The better to smell you with Bear. Take a bath, please.) 5. I’m thankful God made me. 4. I’m thankful God made you (see above) 3. I’m thankful for the neighbor’s cat (OK, I only like him for his Cat Chow) 2. I’m thankful that the neighbors’ kid can’t hit the broad side of a barn with his stinkin’ BB gun (You’ll shoot your eye out, kid!) 1. But most of all... I’m thankful for all my friends on the Writer’s Café and for all their kind words and encouragement. HAPPY THANKSGIVING, Y’ALL!!! Check out Bear on the link on my Bio! He's my Big dumb brother... © 2008 Gordon GreeneFeatured Review
