A New Day

A new sun rises to welcome a new day

A new quest

A new journey

A new adventure

The minute the quoll wakes,

Its spotted fur is a blur 

The quoll’s bushy tail

Dances wildly in the wind

Rustle, squeak 

The quoll’s pink nose twitches

Sniff, sniff

Pitter patter, pitter patter

The sun’s glowing rays

Burn the quoll’s paws

With each step

Sun, hot, thirst

Too hot

For the quoll

Splish splash, splish splash
