Kangaroo To the Rescue

A young cyclist called Jimmy Pike,
Famous for riding his cross-country bike,
Hit an echidna, his tire went flat,
Stopping his long trek,there he sat,
I think he might have to hitch-hike.

 A kangaroo came jumping strong,
 Paused, then asked, "What is wrong?" 
" A wayward echidna with bad eyesight,
got in the way and stopped my bike,"
Now the pair are bouncing along.

Yes Kim, they're our version of a spiny ant-eater. They are a very cute little animal living in the Australian bush. The spikes caused the puncture in the tyre. Thanks for stopping in Kim........kind regards----John
