We had a little visitor

I think opossums are cute --

I like their long hair and pink noses.

I like their slender bare fingers,

with thumbs on both hands and feet.

I even like their tails

and their little beady black eyes --

but I don't like their teeth.

After seeing them, I can see how people

get the creeps from opossums.

But I still think they're cute.

We only see our resident opossum in the winter months.

Isn't that interesting?
