THE SAD TALE OF THE KANGAROO

THE SAD TALE OF THE KANGAROO

 

So the animals went in two by two

but what about the kangaroo

for there could be no guarantee

that they could hop across the sea

so did they fly or did they swim

the likelihood is somewhat slim

that ever they boarded Noah’s ark

nor did they ever disembark

for it is of course a well known fact

there are no kangaroos in Ararat.

    Now here is a poem of several purposes. What of the wombat, platypus, and koala did they hank out in the kangaroo's pouch. Beware the hyper religious may not be too keen on this one Michael A fave

      Yes I guess there are still people in the modern world who actually believe this and I find it hard to believe. 😁

        There are some that still believe that the world is flat, that man will never fly, we never landed on the moon and (well I won't say or I will be stoned by the masses)
