Possum in My Pocket Part 2

Here are the winning poems in tribute to our opossum visitor:

"Possum in My Pocket"

There is a possum in my pocket
There is a frog nestled in my hat.
A turtle living in my shirt.
In my shoe, lives a bat.
Many animals live inside my clothes.
I took them from a zoo.
More animals are yet to come.
Behind, I hear a "Moo"

Animals are all around me
They itch me and scratch
A whole farm is living with me
Oh no!  I hear a hatch.
I'm taking them to my barn,
I put them in and lock it.
My animal friends are lovely, but
There's still a possum in my pocket!
-C.G.

"There is a Possum in My Pocket"

There is a possum in my pocket
And I don't know what to do.
It crawled in while I was sleeping
I hope it didn't poo!
I tried to take it out
But it did not want me to.
There is a possum in my pocket
And I don't know what to do
There was a possum in my pocket,
But now it is in my shoe!
-A.Q.

I carry him around
It doesn't make a sound
This possum in my pocket
He is upside down
Should I turn him around?
This possum in my pocket
-L.L.

"Possum in My Pocket"
He was running around in the library
I think I might name him Cherry
He's black and white
He didn't pick a fight.
And he loves to be...
Hanging in a tree.
-J.B.


Possums, possums, here and there
Possums, possums, everywhere
Possums eating snakes
Possums, oh how marvelous, how great
Possums, tree branches are their beds
Possums like to play dead
Possums, tails so slender
Possums, Ms. Dietz found in the Media Center
Possums, possums, here and there
Possums, possums, everywhere
-J.P.
