Nash Numbat

Thousands of termites a day,

That is a lot of white critters,

That is Nash’s diet they say,

Eating this makes her quicker, 

Of course, you know Nash doesn’t wear clothes, 

She has reddish-brown fur,

And black with white stripes that run along her back,  

Nash is a “Banded Anteater” 

She lives in Eucalyptus Forests 

Where she rests among the trees 

Found only in Australia 

Nash is rarely ever seen 

Small pointed head and ears like an elf 

Squirrel-like tail 

With five toes on her fore feet, and four on her hind  

Her trunk-like, sticky tongue will never fail, 

She is a marsupial without a pouch, 

Her species is very unusual,

Ever so cute, a real Aussie beaut, 

You’ve learned through this poem.
