A Cuckoo Kangaroo

Have you ever seen a kangaroo Who's a little bit off his noodle He hops around like a crazy galoot Who's lost his kit and caboodle He sometimes barks like a doggy And chases cars and trucks At times he meows like a kitty cat Or sometimes quacks like a duck Once got amorous with a moo cow Outcome could've been disastrous Luckily came to his senses in time Almost had our first kangacowerous They're treating him for psychosis It's costing him a bunch of dough Maybe he'll act like a kangaroo again For his sake, we sure hope that's so There's a moral here, it's very simple It's about knowing who you are Being happy with the skin you're in And not coveting another star! ©Jack Ellison 2012

What a very special Kangaroo, desiring to be someone he's not! There are so many of us out there that want to be someone they are not! What a great moral to the poem, we just need to understand who we are and be happy with out own star! What a terrific poem Jack, Great Work!!
