Possum Come a-Knockin'

Last night ...

Rouse was just a-sittin' and a-surfin' some ol' website when a possum come a-knockin' at the door.

Sue was in the hen house saying night-night to the chickens when a possum come a-knockin' at the door.

Granddog was a-whining, and a leapin' and a lungin' when a possum come a-knockin' at the door.

Sue came a runnin' seekin' help from her hubby when a possum come a-knockin' at the door.

She held the lantern while he did the grabbin' when a possum come a-knockin' at the door.

Granddog was a-waitin' thinkin' this is good as bacon when a possum come a-knockin' at the door.

The hens were a-noddin' sleepin' purty in the hen house ... and  that ol' possum won't be a-knockin' anymore!

Apologies to Nancy Van Laan, who wrote the original Possom Come a-Knockin, one of my all-time favorite read-aloud children's books.
