Why Possums Are Thankful

Why Possums Are Thankful

A Poem by Gordon Greene

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...

Very enjoyable read and thanks for the laugh. I am thankful for some many things. I rarely take things for advantage.

I am thankful for family and friends, the friends that become family and family that become friends.
my loving and supportive wife and my furry babies(my dogs and cats)
weekends where at least once me and the furry babies make a dog pile on the bed and take a peaceful nap
the rain that washes the world clean anew
the sun that shines that warms my soul to it core
the world that try to change
the smell of a new day
taste of that first Dr. Pepper of the day.
the way the water covers my body in the shower
This list could go on forever so I will end with this

I am thankful for this craziness I call my life
