Innocent overbright eyes
Paired up with soft gray fur
He looks ready for a cuddle
trickster’s unassuming ways
He looks cuddly
I want to pick him up and hug him
But I have been warned
Koalas do not like that
At all
Part of me still wants to
The dangerous part
The silly part
The stupid part
Recently I found a big Koala
Sitting in my lounge watching t.v
With fluffy grey hair and big round tum
He was cute as can be!
He didn’t look like other Koalas
He was different to the rest
He had fluffy hair around his head
A bald patch in the middle
Which looked like a birds nest!
I asked Mr Koala
What is going on?
“Well he said, I will tell you a tale”
That won’t take me very long
I’m having a little trouble
With the Mrs you see
She’s says my hairs too fluffy
Crazy and scruffy
He said, I love my birds nest hair
I think I look real cool
However, I don’t want any strife
Because as the saying goes
Happy Koala wife
Happy Koala life!
So now I must go to the Koala Barber
To have my hair styled and cut
Because if I don’t …..
The Mrs will kick my Koala butt!!
A young Koala named Joey
had an upset stomach ohwie.
She fed him poop soup,
a poothie to boot.
Now he is handsome and showy!
And why not?
The Lucky country
Bodyline
Human skittles
Murder Incorporated
Swing lube
I sit with friends and
We put
Together our greatest XI
To face Mars
My father shouts, "That's out!"
And the umpire gives it
My son reads The Beano and is
Not interested
In the sixes
The announcer shouts, "Make some noise Edgbaston!"
He is shoved over and the Harlequin Waitrose capped swanky pants
In a spiffing gaggle announces, "Bowling from the City End, some bloke."
A friend told me he strangled
A goat
"That makes you feel really alive."
(For MTG, LB and their ilk)
Give a koala
A fistful of eucalyptus leaves; their only food,
They won't know what to do with it.
Gotta pick it themselves, or starve.
That's because their brains are smooth,
Like chicken breasts.
No convolutions, small surface area, few connections.
What you see is what you get;
Pretty damned dumb for a mammal.
It seems to me, my dears,
You bear a striking resemblance
To these creatures.
Hand you a concept outside of your bubble -
You know, the food of higher thoughts - You just stare at it,
Reject it as undigestible.
This renders your very thoughts smooth,
No convolutions, small surface area, few connections.
What you see is what you get;
Pretty damned dumb for mammals.
a strange koala in a tree
staring very strangely right down at me
i stare straight back up the tree
as the cheeky koala spits on me
hey there you,do not do that
your a koala not a rat
indeed this is strange,
come down here ,lets have a chat
his reply is no i done with that
i am the king ,the last of my kind
you cut down my trees are you people blind
you destroyed my home
now i am all alone
the giant gum trees so grand and tall
you have cut them all down
did you not hear them fall.
you sell them for wood chip to lands afar
now all i have is a road and a car.
my forest long gone
all that is left is me and this tree
just keep walking and leave me be free,
a strange koala yes indeed
maybe now you will plant that seed
regrow my home and leave me alone
for once i am gone i will not return
i am the last of the species as you watched my tree burn
please read this and help me return
Barnaby the Koala has passed away, you see.
But his story lives on in the hearts of many.
Alberto the Pig needed severe health advice.
He went to Barnaby and no longer doubted exercise.
Chaquita the Chicken had a real bad nickname.
She went to Barnaby and no longer was she ashamed.
Muddy the Cow had issues of his own.
He went to Barnaby and no longer was he alone.
Stingless the Bee didn't fit the image.
He went to Barnaby and no longer had limits.
Even though Barnaby is gone.
His story and advice will always live on.
Barnaby the Koala was 70 years old.
He sat in a tree, and knowledge he sold.
Barnaby the Kolala was wise as can be.
His ways were particularly unique.
Barnaby the Koala's days were ending.
His last words: "My wise nature was always pretending".
Barnaby the Koala was a huge liar.
He looked on the internet for his "knowledge" he did aquire.
Joey the Stuffed Koala is sitting high in the tree
All cuddly and warm, fuzzy as he can be.
He got trapped by Jimmy Vee, his neighbor’s hound.
When it goes away, he might just come down.
Up high like this, he can smell Mrs. Trotter’s apple pie.
He hears Mr. Double’s shouting, and he wonders why.
He has a good view, up here in the fork of the tree.
He is ready for winter, so he is comfortable you see.
He knows when the sky gets a bit darker he had better go.
His owner Samantha will feel badly she left him out in the snow.
They cuddle all night, he and his girl, in her warm little room.
He waits for the dog to go, hoping it will be before he sees the moon.
Koalas Bears are cute Aussie animals
Except their smell could clear all your passages
Told by an Aussie lass
Who was sex and a half
Lost my kazoolu when she touched my apparatus
Australia keeps burning but what are we learning?
Who cares about the kangeroos when we can still
see them at our zoos..
Koalas are cute even with burned feet but how many
koalas are you slated to meet..
Fifty million animals now dead
"it's not global warming", is still being said..
Millions of acres the fires have now reached,
people fleeing burnt homes to reside on the beach..
Too many in power, too many politicians,
choosing monetary gains over restricting carbon emissions..
Mother earth had no choice after raping her resources,
to retaliate in anger and show us her forces..
I pray for rain and a little thunder and for our friends
who reside in the "land down under".
Koala Bears are cute li'l Aussie animals
Except for their smell, it could clear your passages
Told my Aussie lass
Who had a real sweet bum
Lost my kangaroo when she tickled my apparatus
broad faced koala
like Jim Henson stitched muppet
stinky hugs clamber
wide eyed from home in gum tree
scared away by Aussie flames
cooling tang
upon my palate-
eucalyptus leaves
sleep comes-
a one-track mind’s
exhausting
nature’s way
is the best-
fine dining
