WHAT A POSSOM TAUGHT ME

WHAT A POSSOM TAUGHT ME

At 6:30 am when some people are still sleeping (including my dog). I'm already taking my morning 3 block walk to the train station. I'm not a morning person and sometimes I don't notice the obvious. For example, I was approaching the end of my block when I noticed a hairy little dog coming in my direction. It wasn't until it was directly in front of me did I notice that the tail did not look like that of a dog. It almost looked like it had a tail of a giant rat. In fact as it got closer I noticed that no one was walking 'IT' and 'IT' was NOT a hairy little dog !

IT WAS A FREAKIN' POSSOM !

I ran across the street nearly tripping over myself . In one hand I had my carafe of coffee the other had my laptop bag. I kept on looking back thinking that sucker was running after me.

By the time I got to the train station, I finally caught my breath. After much thought, that little possum really wasn't chasing after me. In fact, for all I know Mr. Possom was probably heading to work himself right ? So I thought Mr. Possom wasn't so scary after all. He was just ugly looking and he was there just walking along the same street as I was just minding his own business.

Now that I think of it, if I worked with Mr. Possom, he would just come into work and mind his own business. Which is more than I can say for the Jackasses I work with now. Not to mention a Possom looks way better than a Jackass don't you think ?
