The koala's spiritual beliefs Are difficult to assess. He attends no mosque or synagogue And never does confess. He's not a cannibal and so Communion is appalling, And as for gospel singing, It's just so much caterwauling.

Oh, so bluest the sky doth shine A hint of the new season’s ploy, Sweet November a springtime shrine Grains of golden sands of pure joy.

DON’t CHUNDER DOWN-UNDER!
