The Thinker

Koala the Australian version of. “The Thinker”, sits high. Ponders the spicy tang of his next meal then, he’ll sleep for hours. People gawk at him, as he munches eucalyptus.

Very cute poem, M.L. I adore all animals, so this was a good one, but I never met a Koala in person! I wonder if they ever tire of eating the same food every day! Have a good weekend. Sandra

I love animals too and they must not tire of eating the same cuisine. Thank you for your kind comments.

Love the Koala Bears, so cute, cuddly, but boy are their claws sharp. Lovely little poem in their dedication, James :)

Koala is wise and thinks that we humans are a curious lot. Still koala enjoys our attention.

They are the sweetest creatures with a coat softer than lambs wool. I enjoyed your poem so much.
