Chopenhange
A little town called Freedom once stood out on the range when a wagon steered into the square with the banner "Chopenhange!"
The wagon was well worn, its mule overcome with mange, and the wagon stopped, and set up shop to sell some Chopenhange.
The Barker started calling, "Oyez! People what will you exchange? Absolve your Sin! Ring Justice in! All with some Chopenhange!"
He motioned to a row of bottles dusty, wondrous, and strange, "I'll take anything to which you cling for an ounce of Chopenhange!"
The people offered up their treasures, stupored, babbling, deranged; Pride and Health and Guns and Wealth for a taste of Chopenhange.
The Barker took all of it gladly, as this crisis he arranged, and know he lied, air was inside the bottles of his Chopenhange.
The people stood there dumbstruck, could they all have been shortchanged? But The Barker weaved, "You must believe for there to be some Chopenhange!"
They lost their property and power, ever deeds out to their grange: Propaganda, Utopia, Elusive Chopenhange.
And here the story endeth, Freedom gone, not rearranged. So drink your cup, you bought it up. Here's to your Chopenhange!

Not about opossums but moles....
There where 3 moles, a papa mole, a mama mole, and a baby mole. They all lived on a farm. One morning the papa mole stuck his head out of the mole hole and said, Ooh i smell bacon" The mama mole wanted to smell it too, so she stuck her head out of the mole hole. "ooh, i smell eggs!" Baby mole wanted to smell this too, but there wasn't enough room for his head to fit out of the hole. Dejectedly he said...."all I can smell is mole-asses"
