After the fire.Possum.
Was it he who blackened the very sun above our town?
Possum.Does his stare not seem like the face of walking death?
Behold how he came into the world.
Mother,Father,what's afoot?Only Possum,black as soot.
Mother,Father,where to tread?
Far from Pussum and his head.
Wait a while,my little child,for what is playing dead.
Possum,with his black ballooms,
will eat you up in bed.
Look at Possum,there he lies.
Children,meet his lifeless eyes.
See his nasty legs and tongue.When he wakens,watch him run.
Here's a bag,now what's inside?
Does he seek,or does he hide?
Can you spy him,deep within?
Little Possum,black as sin.
Bag is open,growing wider.
What's inside it,man or spider?
Little boy,don't lose your way.
Possum wants to come and play.
