One Shot Wednesday....


.

.

My impending journey into the Hinterland of rural America, has inspired me to submit these humble Haiku's to The Fine Crew over at One Stop Poetry's One Shot Wednesday.
Any short story, prose, or poetry in ANY form, should be posted on your blog, then please go ...Here!

Strange Marsupial
With that creepy...toothy grin
Get Out of The Road!!!

.
Highway Smorgasbord
Succulent..Tender..Juicy
Tastes just like chicken!

You'll have to let us know if you run across any of these icky marsupials or any other strange critters when you safari into the hollers of West Va.

I haven't tried my hand at Haiku yet, but I think I may have to try it sometime.

I can't stand seeing dead things in the road or anywhere else.

This cracks me up! Poor possum's demise led to our poetic enjoyment--Is that fair?

Mine is here. http://razzamadazzle.wordpress.com/2010/09/28/one-shot-wednesday-3/

PattiKen said...

Aw, I just can't get past the poor possum ...

Me said...

Ummm. Yeah. Gross!!

But...damn funny haiku. I laughed even though I didn't want to. LOL!

I have hit maybe four or five things in my 20-year driving career. Each one traumatized me...remember my kamakaze crow?

Nice one shot!! :)

I'm going to take your word for it on the chicken taste, G-Man! :)

Safe travels!

Stranger said...

Barbeque anything long enough and it'll taste like my mom's BBQ chicken, so I imagine you're right on on that.

Great stuff – articulate and witty.

All the best, Boonie

I've never eaten roadkill - have you really? :0

Jannie Funster said...

Yuck!

I actually has a possum run-in a few weeks ago, up close and personal on our back deck. My dog was out barking and I went with flashlight to see what was going on when this freaking possum came straight at me. I ran and screamed. Woke up the whole household.

I was a foot away from a possum -- heading right at me. That'll stay with me forever.

Coming from a man of your culinary skills all invitations to dinner at your house are now officially declined.

dustus said...

I always enjoy me some rock-salty winter road kill. lol Enjoy your trip, G! cheers

Shadow said...

tastes like chicken????? i think i'll skip this one... love the (manly) new look, dear g-man!

Bubba said...

There's a great restaurant in Westland called Beaver Creek Tackle and Beer that serves a delicious dish called the "Road Kill Grill".

Here's the description from their menu: "A selection of roast venison, semi-boneless broiled quail, and wild boar sausage with a hearty homemade game gravy. Served with vegetable, wild rice and a free “I Eat My Road Kill” bumper sticker."

G-Man, if you want to eat road kill, I'd suggest steer clear of the possums and visit Beaver Creek Tackle and Beer instead.

Shrinky said...

Oh, poor little critter (your advice came a wee bit too late for him). I'm useless at haiku's, unlike you!

Claudia said...

ugh - wouldn't be my first choice menue - but if you are very hungry and no McDonalds close.....

Nessa said...

Is he really dead or is he just playing possum? You sure are in a Deliverance frame of mind.

Vinay Leo R. said...

poor guy! the haikus did the image justice, but sad for the possum!

My One Shot!
