It was very cold

Clearly, it was cold

and as draughty as hell

a possum was  sitting

so I hear tell

near a vent in the garden

and the heat from that thing,

was melting the snow

and such comfort did bring

to that little critter

clearly he felt

warmer for being there

and fate kind of  dealt

a good hand to him

for that moment in time

till a red neck called Trexler

with his head full of grime

suggested aloud

his eviction was near

and then began clouting his

arse out of here

at least 20 times he hit that poor soul

smashing his eye

how he did dole

out so much  punishment

this craven heart

a ridiculous notion

that was from the start

banging and cursing

and bashing away

the Possum was hissing

and growling

all day

getting a pasting

and clearly in pain

he got out of the snow there

and with much disdain

scurried away beaten

hard in the face

all the while shouting

how his arse he would chase

that poor little critter was frozen

and he

had  come to warm up

and without a key

the outside was where

he could comfortably be

but Trexler had other thoughts

he wouldn’t share

the warm convection

that happened right there

he was a  selfish arse

no samaritan he

was aiming to make

the poor soul history

karma will repay this blighter

no doubt

with his testicles freezing

I now have no doubt

he can stick to the ice sheet

and nobody will

go get a blow lamp

to melt off the chill

one hopes that in Detroit

this beast of a man

will get a good hiding

and a year in the can

he has to be taught some respect

for those who

are wild in the winter

and feeling blue

who do need some heat

some love and some care

rather than just bloody warm up the air

around his house

let the animals share

and  get out of the frost

and just be aware

of their plight

put  himself in their paws for a while

this arse with  a shovel

he has to stand trial

tatooed on his forehead

abuser for sure

animal abuser

outside the law

they might just abuse him

with a shovel  I hope

or possibly leave him

hung up on some rope
