Kangaroos

Kangaroos are sweet and calm
drifting in their sleep to the moonlit charm
Cuddly, cute carrot eaters
Smart kangaroos jump high with a gravity pass
Kangaroos eat moss, ferns and grass
Kangaroos sun-bathing on great ocean roads
Kangaroos jump like frogs, not toads
l like kangaroos
l like didgeridoos
l like Australian marsupials
And you should too
Yay! You did it
Kangaroos are joyful
Kangaroos are hopeful
Kangaroos, kangaroos
Animals are dying from bush fires
If you don't think this is true, it is because kangaroos are not liars
So don't chop down trees and don't start fires
So kangaroos will live and not die tired
My poem is now ending and it's time to say
Protect the beautiful kangaroos today
