The kangaroo

Way over yonder where the billabong flows
Lives a rather funny looking animal
With an unusual amount of toes

Whilst every creature boasts ten Just like most species
These marsupials have eight
Little stumpy fat pieces

It has three legs
Scientists have just found out
Well that’s very peculiar
What is that all about?

Well apparently whilst two 
Back legs do stand
Its back tail is its third leg
Thats used to land 

These wallaby characters 
Pounce & jump
If defending themselves
Punch  a boxers thump

So if in the outback
Becareful what you do
You may get a smack
From the angry kangaroo

On the front of their chest
They have a pouch for their small
Handier for little kangaroos
No need to follow Mammy at tall

She carrys them around
In the bag made of fur
Perfectly cozy and warm
Keeping them safe with her

Very long ‘pear-like’ bodies
With small, deer shaped faces
Tho kangaroos jump all the time
They seem so full of ‘airs & graces’

I’ve never seen a kangaroo
Only in a book
But I can’t help thinking
How very comical they look
