My baby is a vampire,
adorable and sweet.
Teeth sharp as razors,
slice easily through meat.

He gets a little cranky
if he’s late for his nap,
which is very dangerous,
and can lead to a mishap.

So, I keep him on a schedule
with his snacks and sleep;
thanks to my diligence,
he rarely makes a peep.

He loves to snuggle,
but be careful of his bite,
and stay away from windows
due to harsh sunlight.

I’m not exactly sure
how this happened to my child,
but it might be because
his dad’s a little wild.

Whatever the case,
if you put my love to the test,
I’ll tell you loud and clear
that my baby is the best.

The dogs alerted me to an intruder they
captured in the backyard this morning.
One of my dogs grabbed the joey when
I went to pick him up, but then released
him on command and seemed perplexed
that I wasn’t pleased with their efforts.
His tiny body fit in the palm of my hand;
it seemed rigor mortis had already set in.
Then I realized he was still slightly warm,
and was that a slight heartbeat I felt?
That smart baby opossum was playing
possum, and it probably saved his life.
There I went down a rabbit hole on the
internet, or should I say opossum hole?
What do they drink, eat, need, and how
do I begin to care for a pouchless baby?
Darkness, quiet, snacks, warmth, soft
towels, and a secure cardboard box.
The dogs are very confused as to why
I’m caring for the enemy, but keep
sniffing the odd creature curiously.
