How a Guy Can Die

That guy lost his eye.
I suppose he lost his nose.
In South he lost his mouth.
Oh dear, he lost his ear.
I do declare he lost his hair.
In a trace, he lost his face.
In bed he lost his head.
Down the potty went his body.
He got pegs for his new legs.
In a bed sheet someone hid his feet.

Possum

~S and I found this kind of possum under a bush. It was dirty and it looked dead, but it bared its teeth. And its tail was a dry, bloody stub. It was shaved at the back, so we saw striped fur. We put it in a box. The next day we showed H and then U. She told us to cover it with a blanket. So we covered it with a sweater. H gave it a piece of felt and cotton. We checked on it every minute. Then H said 'twas gone! Then I said,"Maybe it's under the stairs." So H tried to look without going at the bottom of the stairs to peek down. It was ('twas) under there, lying down playing dead(I think). We named him Possam(antha) or just plain Sam(or Samantha) for short.~
