Kangaroo Poems

Happiness Is

If you want to be happy
get a pet
a puppy a guppy
or better yet
a cockatoo a kangaroo
but if you do
just keep in mind
someone must pick up
what they leave behind
such happiness is not free
it comes with a touch
of responsibility
so here's the news
be wary of which one
you decide to choose

tree kangaroo

leaf and fruit eater
big butted tree kangaroo
difficult to find

Kangaroo Dreams

I’ve been having visions and I don’t know what they mean
Up and down the outback, I’ve been dreaming kangaroo dreams.

My legs were strong, to hop from troubled paths.
And I belonged out in the fields of grass.
My eyes were bright to see across the land
And I was quite content although I did not understand.

My nose was

kangaroo court in a jungle

Into the jungle the ebony puma leaps with joy
lion and tiger eyes inequitable to this boy
illustrious cobra uncoils from a near caca tree
kangaroo court in session in a high degree
enthusiastic mushrooms open on demand

young ferns close up shop in this verdant land
onward and upward chimp says to her cub
understanding jungle survival is a very small

Kenya Kangaroo

Kenya kangaroo flying colorful kaleidoscope kite
gnawing nimble gnashy night crawlers on Nairobi’s night
enticing enthusiastic Englewood eagles, filling them with excite
making melodious music, merrymaking magic as they might

Wallaby

I wanna be a wallaby
And not just a wanna-be,
Not a kangaroo or 
Silly platypus

But, if I can’t be a wallaby
I think that I would wanna be
A plump and dumpy
Hippopotamus!

Kangaroo

Meet my Kangaroo herd in Australian highlands,
The king of the herd is Don, very big and strong,
There are many females with little joeys in the pouch,
With little protection from the king on the mound.

Would I like to ride a male Kangaroo,
The rhythm of their hops, leaps, and bounds,
Will throw me sky high without restraints,
The thrill

Kangaroo

Who are you?
     Kangaroo
What do you do?
     Kangaroo
You don't moo
     Kangaroo
You're not a cow
     Kangaroo
Or a sow
     Kangaroo
Or a horse
     Kangaroo
Of course
     Kangaroo
You're not a cat
 

Snowflake Kangaroo

Mama Kangaroo has raised a snowflake boy.
Get out of the pouch she says; and he says “oy?”
You are old enough now to go off on your own.
He does not leave his nest, tucking in with his phone.

Cut off his minutes, the other mamas sternly say.
But he is her only living baby, and she likes things

Meditation

I have defined Meditation
As Prayer of Hesitation:
Time-Claiming Conversation
With Solver of Protestation,
Not Near Human for being Divine,
Though you might speak like you drank Vine;
Samuel-Seeking Faint Syllables,
Hannah’s Ear-Disturbing Babbles:
Eyes of one staring at nothing,
Lips tightly asking for something:
More charged than Prayer in Wattage
And by far fiercer in Voltage... 

A Peter under lock and key
From Bars to be

Chased By a Red Kangaroo

Chased by a two hundred pound kangaroo
I hid inside an Alaskan igloo
I concocted a wild witch’s brew
And put together a tasty stew

Someone yelled, “Here is a blue kangaroo!”
I knew this was not an ample clue.
Had someone fashion me a new hairdo.
Styled by a beauty school shrew.

Someone stuck their head in and yelled “Boo!”
An odd orange

Kangaroo

woodland’s pouch packer
swiftly moves in less than hour...
wild-love’s messenger

Kangaroos look so affectionate. They are so attached with their joeys. I have only seen them on videos and photos. Hope I can visit Australia someday.

If I Were a Kangaroo

I would jump up and down 
instead of walking
and do what I did 
when I was a child 
in a natural way

Zoo

I was once hopped up to visit the zoo
Until hopped upon by a kangaroo.
Never met such a female grouch!
She beat me until in her pouch
A can of snoose I placed for her to chew.

For the Sake of Kangaroo

For the merited sake of Kangaroo
Let’s march towards any exhibiting zoo,
Advised to be humble the Napoleon-Tough, 
Who still could meet his Waterloo 
With a kick, hard and rough 
From the Mature Kangaroo.

For the clear heroism of Kangaroo,
Control the urge to at it boo:
