Hey, riddle diddle, I've a pouch on my middle,
I have two big powerful thighs.
I can leap a fence, in a single bound,
And I've long-lashed, big brown eyes.

My tail is feared by many,
It can break a man in half.
I kick hyenas, in their butts,
And take away their laugh.

My arms are short and stubby,
My ears have sex appeal.
I live in the Land Down Under,
And I eat leaves for every meal.

~*~

I'm a roo of some distinction,
I kanga 'cross the plain.
Just minding my own business,
And you won't hear me complain!

Tee Hee E.A., I love your playful verse and the smile it brings

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Susan ~

As you know I wrote "The Masked Bandit" about a raccoon. Then yesterday I wrote 8 poems, one about a cow which I have entitled "Elsie". I'll be posting that one later in the week.

I really enjoy writing for children ~ but I am also pleased that adults seem to appreciate those poems as well.

Have a successful day! ~ I'll be roo-ting for you!

(giggles) Aw crikey, look at her, ain't she gorgeous? She's a flyer, and ain't she a gorgeous lil' Joey? Blimey, these marsupials got their name when European explorers asked an aborigine what they were called, and he replied "kangaroo", meaning "I don't understand" in their language. (smiles) Awwwwww, I love these lil' boomers, woooooooo! (giggles) This is soooooo cute, yay, I love it, we all love you so much!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah ~

And "we all love you so much" as well. Golly gee, I adore this pic! It has really added  so much realism ~ and "adorablism" ~ to my post! You always go that extra mile to bring joy to others! You are an angel, my dear, dear friend!

Kangaroony Huggaroonies!
