Possum Becomes Life Coach, Teaches Confidence by Playing Dead in Stressful Situations
Ma gasped, “He flopped mid-speech!”
Pa said, “That’s bravery you can’t teach.”
Lou signed up for course online,
Granny fainted right on time.
Possum blinked with zen-like pause,
“Collapse. Confuse. Applause.”
“Job interview? Just drop and twitch,
The boss won’t know which end to pitch.”
“First date nerves? Hit ground hard,
Let silence be your calling card.”
Goat tried it at a wedding toast,
Woke up hugged and loved the most.
Rooster passed out during fights,
Pig now naps through taxman nights.
Preacher called it “deathly grace,”
But used it when he lost his place.
Now city folks flop down in fear,
All thanks to Possum’s deadpan cheer.
