Jack Ellison Poet Free verse

The Australian Mind

The Australian mind is different
It's filled will happiness and joy
I'm sure there are exceptions
It must be the wide open spaces
The freedom the koala bears
(that smell really bad BTW)
Kangaroos carrying their wee ones 
In a pouch unique to the animal kingdom 
The wide open spaces
The north is warmer than the south
Last but not least they talk funny
