| O. Nash |
Ogden Nash wrote wonderful, usually very short, humorous poems about some of the most seemingly inconsequential things in life: The Ant, The Centipede, Guppies. So, in honor of Ogden Nash, for my "O' post, I have written an Ogden-esque poem called, Ode to the Opossum.

ODE TO THE OPOSSUM
by Melissa Ann Goodwin
Opossum are omnivorous
not vegan
or carnivorous
they play at night
don't like to fight
and if provoked
by other blokes
pretend to be Oblivious
Hmmmmmm glad you labeled the photos as they seem to look like one another :>) Very nice poem!
ReplyDeleteO would be proud of O and U
Very good, Melissa!! :)
ReplyDeletethanks Becky, I made myself smile too :-)
ReplyDeleteRV - I didn't even notice how much O. Possum looked like O. Nash until you said that! Must have been subliminal.
Great poem, and great O post. :)
