"I'm not scared of dying
and I don't really care
if it's peace you find in dying,
well then, let the time be near

If it's peace you find in dying,
well then dying time is near
just bundle up my coffin,
'cause it's
cold way down there,
I hear that it's
cold way down there, yeah
crazy cold, way down there

And when I die, and when I'm gone
there'll be, one child born
in this world
to carry on, to carry on

Now troubles are many
there as
deep as a well
I can swear there ain't no Heaven
but I pray there ain't no hell
Swear there ain't no Heaven
and I'll pray there ain't no hell
but I'll never know by livin'
only my dyin' will tell, yes only my
dyin' will tell, oh yeah,
Only my dyin' will tell

And when I die, and when I'm gone
there'll be, one child born, in this world
to carry on, to carry on
yeah yeah

Give me my freedom
for as long as I be
All I ask of livin'
is to have no chains on me
All I ask of livin'
is to have no chains on me
And all I ask of dyin' is to
go natrually, only wanna
go naturally
Here I go!
hey hey
Here come the devil
right behind
look out children, here he come
here he come, heyyy

Don't wanna go by the devil
don't wanna go by the demon
don't wanna go by satan
don't wann die uneasy
just let me go
naturally

And when I die, and when I'm dead
dead and gone
there'll be
one child born, in our world
to carry on, to carry on "
Got this going thru my head all day now =)

This is so sad, although he does seem content. How is he doing?

Nice idea, execution and gallery. The last picture "call this number" really ties it together and kind of "drops the bomb"

I've just found this gallery. Is Possum Man okay?
Guest 07-Apr-2005 18:04
Interesting Idea this is. A very unique gallery. Thanks Karen.

Fortunately, it looks as if the number has been posted there quite a while!
What an unusual sport this man enjoys. At least he is practical if not glamorous.
Warren Sarle featured possum tracks in Kodak Challenge 10. His other possum photos are here: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1026&message=12465146.
Thanks for posting this gentle reminder that life is too short! --Kim
