Poem
I accidentally let one loose - I was tipsy and had no excuse It happened at the rare breed’s zoo When I decided to cuddle a cute kangaroo As I crept into the fenced off enclosure I struggled to maintain my composure The joey leapt past me, I just couldn’t stop it as it bounded away like a flaming rocket! I tried to catch it by grabbing hold of its tail but I slipped on a grape, and let out a loud wail I could see the joey bounce away into the distance It was clear I needed professional assistance I got the attention of the kangaroo warden She turned on me like a demented gorgon and shouted at me, the air turned quite blue as we both chased after that small kangaroo The footloose joey demanded more intervention His keeper spluttered words too rude to mention The kangaroo bounced away at lightning speed We needed to ensnare it, the keeper decreed We were joined in the chase by the local vet who used a long pole, on the end was a net He managed to place it over the joey’s head Soon joey was captured and locked in his shed I tried to apologise until I was puce in the face But they wouldn’t listen, said I was a disgrace As a result of my action I’m banned from that zoo I guess I won’t get to cuddle a baby kangaroo I accidentally let one loose Contest Sponsored by Charles Messina 7/7/18
