Koala
By Hope W

That soft grey fluff ball
Sometimes called a drop bear
Won’t be alive for much longer
If we continue to destroy its home
Humans are taking over its habitat
Where it lives, what it is known for
Its eucalyptus home is being cleared
The only animal that can eat it, to others it is poison
Without this plant, koalas have nothing
That cute fluffy grey ball
I wish it could have a eucalyptus shopping haul
Instead of habitat loss and fragmentation
Its babies are so small and cute
Survival issues causing our koalas to uproot
Please Australia, let’s protect our precious species.
