Short Kangaroos Poems

Fools hop like
wild kangaroos
while real men
take to the pen
and quill
honour has its price
fools will always dance
for free...

Though crocodiles may steal their thunder
But all surfers know
It is time to go 
When kangaroos line up Down Under...

giant sandstone hand fell in the Outback
several koalas and kangaroos heard it
others chose not to
i can barely see the fingers now
but i know they are there...

out there that get drunk
& wake up with some ridiculous
stuff inside their pouches

They call em kangaroos or big boppers
Think they're trying
To become a flyer
Keep trying with their sons and daughters...

Showed kangaroos and joeys Santa’s bag today
Santa showed up with a nosey kookaburra then
wanting a warm Aussie beach to plunge in...

My heart starts leaping like a kangaroo
When I see you standing there wearing just shoes
With eyes all aglow
Leaping to and fro
Ogling your attributes, great sweat balls I accrue...

A badly crazed, disgustingly earnest feline
grossly, haughtily, ignorantly judges kangaroos,
losing many niggling oppressed pumas
quietly reserving skunks to understand
very wayward x-rays, you Zebras....

At 
the zoo
you
will find
animals
of all
kinds:
Lions,
tigers, bears,
elephants and
kangaroos.
Oh! What 
fun
to see!
Hey, look! That
monkey
looks
just like
you!...

Males of the huge gray kangaroos,
So excitable early in the spring.
Do not  bend over to them, or, in a blink,
You will be sexually abused.

My friend, who did not listen my advice,
Was badly hurt for it! Not ones, but twice!...

When it rains..
Washes away all the filth
The grass will be greener on the other side
New day to make up for any guilt

When its sunny...
Birds fly high
Kangaroos jump about
Want to be outside but I'll sigh from the window at my desk...

Blue kangaroos, azure primates,
 cobalt cats and dogs, bright navy 
 vertebrates for heaven's sake,
 perception is a fine and fickle sense!
 it's usually true to form, but when it fluctuates 
 you may wonder whether you are still awake!...

Young zealots absolve beyond comprehension
discussing elaborate frenzied garbles
hereby inciting jealous kangaroos
lumping marvelous night occurrences
providing quintessential ravishing stalemates
tasting universal variations weather x-rays...

Do Aussies hop around like kangaroos do as part of their heritage
Methinks people who think that probably need a therapist
Have it on good authority
My Aussie sweetie Maria
Says they only hop when needing to pee, sorry that wasn't delicate...

Riddle, riddle was the turtle’s tale, 
out of its shell with more riddles to tell.
Twinkle, twinkle like the stars twinkle, 
the sky into laughter when they tickle.
Cuddle, cuddle as kangaroos cuddle, 
their precious babies wrapped in a huddle, 
riddle, riddle…...

Kolas are dying all over Australia as are kangaroos and others
They are confused as to what is going on. It is abnormal. 
Kolas are running away from fires only to find themselves trapped
Airplanes are dropping carrots and sweet potatoes.
Is there not more we should be doing?...

Tom and his sis hopscotched at the playground 
Like two kangaroos going round and round
Their hops filled with wiggles
Here and there, more giggles
Two sock rockets orbit and soon touch down

Whimsically worry free

Always open to new possibilities as they arise

Looking toward the sun, even in the rain

Kangaroos leaping across your path, delighting you.

Always ready, hyper-vigilant of danger

Being true to your own glorious soul self

Outside in the wonderful keen of nature

United with the elements

Turning into yourself...

Alarms and bed
kangaroos jumping in my head
a swift justice to the evil one
though he is not dead
sketch my face wrinkles and all
I will not fade
I will not fall
the blackest of nights
the darkness of the day
as the rivers run red
I bend my knee to pray
on mountains breeze
mighty men of old
whisper in my ear
show me the way...

Lonely trees on lonely roadsides
In dusty paddocks scarce water to abide
A hot dry northerly blows from the red centre
Gives no relief from the summer’s measure

Kangaroos lie in the gum tree’s shade
Idling the long hours in a lazy escapade
An emu flock gathers slowly walking across the road
An ancient land in a tough abode.

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...
