Trapped a possum! Penned a poem!

[jkcmj]

With the sun gone down, and stars shining bright
 The chickens were nestled in the coop for the night
 
Along came a creature, his hunger in full blossom
 I would like to introduce you all to Ned the Possum!
 

He felt entitled to a chicken dinner, two he killed without sorrow,
 He planned to eat the 2nd one, when he returned upon the morrow!
 
I lay out a trap to capture my new friend
 Baited with thigh of chicken he had brought to his end.
 
I asked him this morning, "Was the chicken or your life worth more?"
 His look told told me: "Good sir, the chicken, it was to die for!"

[Lee Borgersen]

Possum possum in that cage
 
Your face shows anger and mighty rage
 
You've killed those chickens not one but two
 
And now your trapped what will you do?
 
Your fate is now in the trappers hands
 
So we the viewers await what stands
 
Now will you live or shall you die
 
Ours is not to reason why
 
But, the trapper knows if you read his eyes
