Premium Member Chin-Up

There once was a nanny,* lived in New Guinea
She's spot her billy, O would she whinny
   She'd kick up her feet
   And then she would bleat
She'd curl the hair on his chin-chin-chinny

Premium Member Thyacine Aka Tasmanian Tiger

Thyacine
Tasmanian tiger
Tasmanian wolf

carnivorous marsupial
kept young in pouch
native to Australia, Tasmania, New Guinea

Thyacine is to Australia
What Sasquatch is to North America
Been sighted but not recently penned or captured

Sasquatch might be a myth
Thyacine only went extinct eighty-seven years ago
in 1936


Willy Wagtail

Willy Wagtail

Willy wagtail black of body
White of breast now in his suit
Elegant as Cary Grant
Tuxedo is his bag of fruit……..slang 4 suit

Rides upon the sheep or cattle
Plucking insects from the air
Swings his fantail side to side…..constantly
Flicks the water food is there

Ducks and weaves so sure of flight
Chitti chitti says the bird
Talks a bit during the night
Chitti chitti often heard

Don Johnson

Found all over Australia in New Guinea and the Solomons

Hooded Pitohui

Black and orange passerine with red eyes
                               In the woods of
                                 New Guinea
                                   They live
                                      Belle
                                      They
                                    Whistles
                                   Even have
                                Toxic feathers
        Get the poison from the food that they eat.
