The Ballad of Budd Whole Opossum
February 8, 2025

he was born in the outhouse
in the middle of autumn
my dear twin half-brother
I think about him often

he was bigger than life
and ten times more awesome
now I bring you the ballad
of Budd Whole Opossum

Budd Whole Opossum
could hang from a tree
by his tail
Budd Whole Opossum
could dumpster dive you
all the way to hell

his daddy was a rounder
named Korn Whole Opossum
his mama's name was Loosey
and they didn't take precautions

Ol' Budd grew up pretty fast
he was pop'lar with the ladies
sowed his wild oats far and wide
and fathered lots of babies

Budd Whole Opossum
could eat a garbage can
full of trash
Budd Whole Opossum
he'd steal your girl
and then he'd kick your ass

Budd thought he was invinceable
said no one could bring him down
so he saddled up his faithful pig
and rode him into town
he tried to raid the trash bin
but he never had a chance
ol' Budd was murdered
by the Orkin man

Budd Whole Opossum
could poop in every
attic in town
Budd Whole Opossum
that Orkin bastard
finally brought him down
