The Look-a-Like Kangaroo
By Addison S

A fuzz-filled soul
With a heart so free
Sitting high up on rocks
Just away from me
A kangaroo’s body
And its ears pinned tall
A stubby little tail
So it will not fall
Adorable buggers
Eating foliage for lunch
Looking like dusty red dirt
Covered in a bunch
A native species
In the point of Queensland
Threatened to extinction
It wasn’t what was planned
These wallabies are scarce
Cape York Peninsular is where they live
Less than 20,000 in their species
How can we forgive
