“A Letter to the Opossum Family” by Rosemary Boschi

A Letter from One of our Readers

Dear Nocturnal Marauders,

We must talk regarding your abuse of my hospitality during the last six weeks in which you quickly discovered there was no longer an elderly dog in residence.

I really don’t mind your taking a refreshing dip in my lovely backyard water garden but I truly hoped when you no longer found tasty suet treats hanging on the tree, you might take your nightly splash parties elsewhere.

Silly me.  I so hoped we could live in harmony.  But alas, you take advantage of my hospitality in the wee hours of the morning by breaking my pickerel rush, upending the water lilies, disconnecting the fountain and relocating the light.  This is getting very old!

Sadly for me at this time, you seem to have the upper hand.  Since you do not hibernate, my fondest wish is you find this location inhospitable during the cold winter months and relocate to bigger and better digs…far, far away.

Your Worn Out Hostess,

Rosemary Boschi
