Gone Kanga
Stories tall and fish will do
in Aus we caught a kangaroo
put him in the outhouse neat
clean bowled old Barney off his feet
but did i mention fishing :)
been to the river an it was deep
bulldogged a Kangaroo
not a Sheep
the fish just weren’t a biting
in a chaff bag he did nicely fit
he punched and kicked
and bit a bit
so Barn he was a skiting
so down in the thunder box outhouse
down the back behind fowlhouse
lurked Barneys bloody larger mouse
not goats in there a bouncing
the door flew open in went Jack
perhaps he had a bowel attack
at 4am with language black
old Roo was there arising
old Roo he was no mouse retard
he bounded cross the flaming yard
and cleared the fence it wasn’t hard
and sprang for the horizon

Yes many people have had Roos for pets and like most animals
they are lovely to have. Roos can jump over 6 foot fences when they have grown, also good at wriggleing through netting fences.
The large male is not defencless and can punch you out, also grab an attacking dog n drown him in a creek or river. They can bite pieces out of you scratch with their arms or hold you and attempt to disembowel you with their long feet toe nails. If you threaten his female mate when in season beware of placid old man roo, dangerous suddenly. And they are prolific breeders after the wet
season arrives lots more joeys appear. Many Kangaroos are killed by cars why the country has roo bars on their cars 4 protection of the car.
There are millions of Kangaroos possibly more than sheep in Australia
no fence can hold em. The orphans of the common roadside death
become the pets of tomorrow.
im sorry but this is true in Australia
