The Quokka

As I walk around Rottnest Island, I come across a critter,

with big black eyes, brownish fur and a smile that makes me jitter.

“This must be a quokka” I say, “the happiest thing around”,

I watch it for a while, utterly spellbound.

If you ever see a quokka, it’ll wash away your worries,

And make you a huge lover of the happiest ever species!
