In your school bag

In your school bag
There is a cat
Inside a cat, there are ants.
Ants eat plants.
And plants...What?
Plants eat ants.
Inside the ants, there´s a cat
And a cat is in your school bag.

The Kangaroo´s Courtship



"Oh will you be my wallaby?"
Asked Mr. Kangaroo.
"For we could find so very many
Jumping things to do.
I have a pocket two feet wide
And deep inside,
My dear, you´d ride...
Oh, come and be my bouncing bride,
My Valentine, my side by side.

By Jane Yolen

Love is like a Cabbage

Love is like a cabbage
Divided into two,
The leaves I give to others,
The heart I give to you.
Please read and listen to/The Duck and the Kangaroo a beautiful poem by Edward Lear

Australia's Kookaburra Bird

The kookaburra song

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh kookaburra, laughs kookaburra
Gay your life must be.

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the gumdrops he can see
Stop kookaburra, stop kookaburra
Leave some there for me!
