Nine little possums in the tavern rather late
One fell in the jello tub
and then there were eight

I'm sitting here with a prewritten verse bringing them down to three. Can't you kill one more of them? I'll give you some rhyme words: whore, floor, door, more, bore, gore, galore, folklore,...

thanks MMario:

Four little possums
found a recipe,
they tried it out
with one of them
they liked it all, well, three.
(now they are down to three)

negative one little possum looking for a mate...if he finds her here will they make a figure eight?

When A. Christie wrote her 'Ten little persons' she wrote a happy and an unhappy end. Here's the happy end sensu Christie for the possums in order to come full circle and make them ten again

:
One little possum found at last a mate. She loved him, he made love to her, now they are two plus eight.

Two little possums
have an oven with a bun
When the door gets opened
There'll be another one!

Point of logic (apologies for being non-traditional) - MMario, if there were five possoms left and they start out dead in your verse, one being resurrected would leave one.

If you were referring to the previously dead possoms - if one if one resurrected, there'd be six.

Three possoms in the Tavern One left a little poo Barb got a bazooka Now there are just two.

nope - there were five DEAD possums - previously killed in the song...one resurrected...giving you FOUR DEAD possums.

my mind works in strange ways....

Hey, you can't go from possums to anti-possums just like that! Or then again, we could reverse the thread and go back down to zero again.

Nine dead possoms
Had met an early fate
One was only 'playing possum'
So there really were just eight.

...I just lost the bet I had with myself, I thought you'd have this thread all wrapped up and killed in ten! It's now officially dead and the drinks in the Mudcat Tavern are on me!

Come on Guys! (using Guys in the Western sense which includes Gals) It's not often you get a good song writing exercise like this.

Four dead possums
went for burial at sea
one went to Fiddlers Green
and then there were three

Three dead possums

One of 'em burst!
Leaving only two.

Three little possums
Sitting on a stump
Spaw picked one up and blew up his rump
Said the other two,
'Boy that looks like FUN!
Spaw scooped them all up
Now there are none!
