Your tail is cold in this piece of tin foil I'm using to carry you back to the soil. Here in the shade of a mulberry bush You'll have plenty of daisies to push. Somewhere a possum family is sad Wondering where is their mom or their dad. 'Cause you met your fate with a steel belted radial. I'm not sure if you're a man or a lady. I'll lay you to rest, say a short prayer. Dear possum, may you blossom as a flower next year. Tonight when the predators come out to prey They'll find you here in a state of decay. And you'll be the source of a great celebration As you're reincarnated in a thousand variations The birds, the squirrels, the bats, the maggots, Microorganisms, rats, cats, and rabbits Will all have a feast and drop little toasts On the earth for desert as you turn to compost. 'Cause you met your fate with a steel belted radial. I'm not sure if you're a man or a lady. I'll lay you to rest, say a short prayer. Dear possum, may you blossom as a flower next year I've often wondered how you could sustain Yourself in a competitive food chain. You're slow and ungainly, you make easy prey And you never have anything much to say. When you're approached you act nervous but curious. The sharpness of your claws seems absolutely spurious. Maybe you're here to humor the gods Who blessed your brothers with indigo cods. 'Cause you met your fate with a steel belted radial Now I see that you're a man not a lady I'll lay you to rest, say a short prayer Dear possum, may you blossom as a flower next year. |
