An arboreal animal, <br />Living high up in the trees, <br />This furry little critter <br />Is of the color green. <br />Thick soft fur blankets <br />When it curls into a ball, <br />The resting Ringtail Possum, <br />Is really very small. <br /> <br />He likes to go for rides, <br />On tangled thornless vines. <br />Two silvery vertebral stripes, <br />With white patches under eyes. <br />His daytime roost is on an open branch, <br />But he does not make a sound to match <br />Any other possum, and travels not in pairs, <br />And lives in Queensland, North Australia, <br />Where these funny guys are rare.<br /><br />Robert Edgar Burns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/green-ringtail-possum/
