Farewell, poor possum, we hardly knew thee!


The white possum of the Daintree Rainforest, Queensland, Australia, is now extinct.

I think this calls for a short dirge:

It's too late, baby,
Yeah, it's too late,
Though I really did want to taste it.

This marsupial white has died
and I can't fry it nor can I bake it
No, no-oh-oh-oh.
