Now I was taken by surprise, <br />One day out of the blue, <br />When a friend said to me, <br />'Man, do I have news for you! ' <br /> <br />'What news? “I asked, <br />Starting to get concerned. <br />He said, 'It sounds unbelievable, <br />But, here's what I have learned! <br /> <br />I heard it on the radio, <br />Earlier this very morn; <br />This local gal had given birth, <br />And a special child was born.' <br /> <br />'So, what's the great news, <br />Bout a woman giving birth? <br />Shucks man, happens all the time <br />All over the planet earth.' <br /> <br />He said, 'The baby’s part animal, <br />Amazing, but it's really true! <br />I swear man; it's not a lie, <br />This thing I'm telling to you! ' <br /> <br />'Part animal! Are you sure? <br />C'mon, surely you do jest! ' <br />But, I became a believer, <br />Once he shared with me the rest. <br /> <br />Smiling with a possum-like grin, <br />He revealed minute detail... <br />'The babe had a dear little face, <br />And a bare little tail.' <br /> <br /> <br />Written by L C Taylor, February 7,2008<br /><br />Loyd C.
