Sideshow Kangaroo
The kangaroo is
jumping ‘round the pen
In search of
blissful leisure. Should she play
Her fav’rite
game? Use dirt to make mud pies?
The kangaroo
does wonder what to do.
With gliding
motions, creatures pass her by.
With one leg up,
the other remains on
The dirt. To not hop boggles her mind, and
What odd fur
they have, rough and striped and bright.
The young ones
pointed, laughing at her moves-
She somersaulted,
‘round and ‘round she went.
Surrounding audience
spun by her fast
The kangaroo welcomed
laughter.
The group of
creatures grew and watched the show,
A spectacle, a prodigy indeed.

A kangaroo's a subject fit for verse
That strides on strong iambic feet
While carrying a precious thought empouch'd.
