Our Aussie Home

Leaves fall, as they are birthed, possums small,

calling through the undergrowth.

Kangaroos bound across the scorching desert,

diamonds found, as are rubies.

Many a creek with gorgeously scaled fish,

Australia unique, as it will stay.

Lakes shimmer, with a condensed confusion of clear and muddy waters,

toads and frogs glimmer, fresh out of the pond.

Little penguins waddle, as well as they can swim.

Hard stone cobble made houses strong.

Ponds, reefs, lakes galore, on land or beneath the shore.

You can go to the boiling Darwin,

or in the Great Barrier Reef swim with fish and fin.

Free is what you are –

in the amazing Australia.
