“Hi, are you from Possumneck?”
This is the greatest pickup line 
In the world but you got to know
How to say it like you’re excited, 
So It’s not like a question, like it
Ends with an exclamation mark!

Why is it the greatest pickup line?
Well, no matter what she says
You have something else to say. 
Most of them of course are not from 
Possumneck so you say, “I knew 
“A girl there who looked just like you!”

Or maybe she is from Possumneck,
Or maybe she just says she is from 
There to play along with you a bit.
Then you say, “I used to live there
“And I saw you on the street one day
"But I thought we would never meet!”

I am in Phi Delta Theta and we have
Passed this pickup line to each other
And we laugh about it because nobody
In Phi Delta Theta is from Possumneck.
But there actually is a place called 
Possumneck which is in Attala County.
