They eat from my hand
And the people are friendly.
The possums on Magnetic Island
Are not like the possums at home.
They are not shy.
I feed them rice cakes out of my hands and pet them.
No one loves me here,
But the people are frrendly.
Everyone feeds the possums
Drinks beer
And says they have no money.
I am asked about California.
It makes me think of my family
And how their presence would help heal my wounded heart.
I may be on the verge of a tear.
The possums on Magnetic Island are not shy.
They eat from my hand
And the people are friendly.
