For the love of all that is holy, this is brilliant. I can't believe I've only now discovered this. So hilarious. The long pauses at the end are just...oh. So good I can't hardly stand it.
ODE TO THE OPOSSUM O' Opossum, you are most awesome. Who knows what you think or have done? Contemplating what to eat and where to sleep The opossum asks not another for its keep. Though the opossum has limited years, He is good company to converse with while having some chips.
Opossum, opossum, You are so awesome. Your wisdom outshines the stars. Beneath your brow of fortitude, You gots a kickin' attitude. Opossum, my possum, Thou art awesome.
Oh Connie, you little one, oh so small behind the fence, sitting in the dark. Your small triangular mouth gaping, staring so still, you small antique, gentle being, in my dreams and in my sleep, forever you will be.
I just love everything you do , you are so funny along with being educational for the opossum ! Your babies are adorable ! I can hardly wait for your next video . I specially love the ones when you take them out into the public . Like the visit to the vet & the palm reader was so funny !
Head of wedge,-br- bright eye of pitch,-br- habitant of tree or ditch,-br- often wont to fail to budge,-br- not a sloth, though also slow,-br- not a hog of hedge or row,-br- not an armadillo, no,-br- but a possum-O.
Oh Opossum This love is un-natural Yet, you have hooked me with your prehensile tail Reeling me in, until exhausted- belly up- I find myself atop the compost pile You next to me, eating worms with small insiders Me offering you an apple core, as Eve would Adam And while attempting to caress your narrow brain case You pull a tick from the base of your tail, and offer it to me like candy I am sorry my marsupial friend, my love only goes so far And so I play dead.
oh possum, oh possum, you past my house once. crawled past the window and it made me jump! JUMP WITH JOY, THE POSSUM IS HERE! WHEREVER HE GOES THERE ARE BLESSINGS NEAR! tip toe to him quietly to ask him his name. he crawled upto me to ask the same. he smiles and laughs with his big strong heart and ran back to his tree to play the harp.
Possum Susie, Possum Sam Do the jitterbug Out in the possum land And they shimmy Sam is so skinny And they whirl and they twirl and they tango Singin' and jinglin' a jango Floatin' like the heavens above Looks like possum love !
You know, if this same routine was being performed by a Native American, African witch doctor, a Hindu priest, etc., most in academia would consider it profound.
Dear Walter Stucke, We, then, are her elite. No need for the snobbish, just wit, kindness, and a great sense of humor (Oh, and the love of wonderful creatures). 😊❤️
Eleven years ago!!! I have to catch up. Just for the record, we found a blinded opossum and NOBODY in N California could help us. We had no choice but to keep him. It was no hardship. They really should live longer. Science should look into this.
Oh, my opossum, we are oceans apart, I wish to understand your true nature, For your prehensile tail has taken my heart, One day I will know, first-hand of the elegance you show, But for now, MEpearl is a good start.
You guys, she understands people's sarcastic comments, and even when they can be rude, she still approves them to be shown under the video. She has a sense of humor.
I love how she throws everything.
I was not prepared for the glasses! lol & I didn't think I'd be surprised by anything after the litter pan of water being thrown
Not more than me
No rat's🐀ass given!
This video sums up pretty perfectly why I love the internet.
A haiku:
Woman reads us poems
And plays bongos in between.
Possum just wants snacks.
Possum named Apple
A white lady named Georgette
Beatnik bonanza
One of the best things in my life I never knew I needed.
kuri garu thanks Kuri !! the o'possum massage is even better after a good zinger
How did it take me this long to come to that realization?
I love this woman.
a beatnik jackie kennedy reading possum poetry. thanks internet !
Exactly!

ODE TO THE OPOSSUM
O' Opossum, you are most awesome.
Who knows what you think or have done?
Contemplating what to eat and where to sleep
The opossum asks not another for its keep.
Though the opossum has limited years,
He is good company to converse with while having some chips.
The fact that she has at least part of these poems memorized
Opossum, opossum,
You are so awesome.
Your wisdom outshines the stars.
Beneath your brow of fortitude,
You gots a kickin' attitude.
Opossum, my possum,
Thou art awesome.
when i grow up i want to be you pearl
You want to be Pearl the dead squirrel? The beatnik lady is Georgette.
Apple is so good at poetry 🥺💖
A poem for a possum. Very touching! Your wisdom touches my spirit.
Dear opossum!
That lady,
she`s awesome ;)
💝😝truth
Oh Connie, you little one, oh so small behind the fence, sitting in the dark. Your small triangular mouth gaping, staring so still, you small antique, gentle being, in my dreams and in my sleep, forever you will be.

This makes me very happy.

2:34 favourite part
Wonderful. I like this.
You are so incredible!!!
You're my new favorite person.
Oh Opossum
This love is un-natural
Yet, you have hooked me with your prehensile tail
Reeling me in, until exhausted- belly up-
I find myself atop the compost pile
You next to me, eating worms with small insiders
Me offering you an apple core, as Eve would Adam
And while attempting to caress your narrow brain case
You pull a tick from the base of your tail, and offer it to me like candy
I am sorry my marsupial friend, my love only goes so far
And so I play dead.
i love you guys...!!
Bless you Georgette and Apple!
Love you so much..I wish you were my neighbor. Your awesome.
ROFL! I think you are brilliant!
This is fantastic! I'm sharing it on Facebook's Virginia Opossum Fan Club! :D If I come up with an opossum poem myself, you'll be the first to know!

3:32 @theopossum when someone gives me a compliment
Possum Susie, Possum Sam
Do the jitterbug
Out in the possum land
And they shimmy
Sam is so skinny
And they whirl and they twirl and they tango
Singin' and jinglin' a jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
Looks like possum love !
goals.
Applesauce! Applesauce! *snap snap* I like my foot, too. (whispers: Applesauuuuuuuuuuce.) *snap* Drums!!!!!!!!!!

This so cute OMG OMG
2019?
It is my understanding that the possum poetry prize ("PPP") is a fully optioned 2012 Porsche 911 Turbo. Any comment?

Head of wedge,
Eleven years ago!!!
I have to catch up.
Just for the record, we found a blinded opossum and NOBODY in N California could help us. We had no choice but to keep him. It was no hardship.
They really should live longer. Science should look into this.
Did I accidentally take mescaline again, and forget that I did?
I really really like but pleas do something to improve sound. Blankets on wall would help stop echo. And lapel mic.
How do you even know if it likes poetry?? o.O
never watch this high, never...
llooooooollllll
Brittani loves feet!
if she had a stroke during the video you couldnt tell
Can I have some of your drugs?
This has to be the worst ventriloquism act I've ever seen; its lips were moving the entire time.
XD

Oh, my opossum, we are oceans apart,
I wish to understand your true nature,
For your prehensile tail has taken my heart,
One day I will know, first-hand of the elegance you show,
But for now, MEpearl is a good start.
I wish this lady was my grandma xD
