Koala

Koala lies in his tree, but the bush fire is coming like a burning hot Tsunami,

around him ashes, fire, dead life, the fire spreads,

soon to reach him, it’s too soon till he’s gone,

how long will he last for?

In the gumtrees Koala naps for many of his friends have been trapped

the fire grows but soon it snows,

poor Koala in his tree, none of his body filled with glee.

His fur slightly burnt, how did it come to this?

He must be missed.

Koala sleeps in his gumtree but no one can hear his sobbing and weeps,

one day Koala seems to be awake, so he wants some gum leaf cake,

he prays for some better days, but until then he just lays,

but Koala sees a man and he’s staring at Koala's tree!

Oh, no could it be?

The man sways his axe and Wack! the tree goes splat,

now Koala lay there dead in his old gum leaf bed,

his eyes closed,

he’s in a sleeping pose,

poor Koala in his bed now

he just lay there dead.
