The Possum Waits

The cat has gone home
so possum waits at the door
to fight with the cat.

    Quick- get rid of that picture! I'm laughing when I was twenty I rented a trailer and wouldn't you know someone had moved the water heater and there was a hole in the floor. I had two possums that came up through the hole and scared the bejeebers out of me. Yes, bejeebers is a word even if you can't find it in your dictionary. You have to get the redneck, southern issue.

    Excellent haiku. Your keen moment of observation is immortalized in this poem. Love the cat and possom images.
