Dead 'Possum
He did not move he did not breathe
He did not make a sound
He was completely dead indeed
To everything around
He did not awake from his slumber
There was no yawn from him
He was as dead as any other
His act had reached its end
His playing dead did not save him
He was seized as he faked
He was put to certain death
And would never again awake

Aw, poor possum! At last, the phrase 'playing possum' explained! 🙂 Nice write!
Thanks Viv! I've been accused of playing possum myself sometimes! LOL
