Earth Calls for darkness,
Sun creeps in the horizon
World prepares for roo....

A young ‘roo in Australia named Joe
At work, he was a no-call no-show
His boss he annoyed
He’s now unemployed
Where he works now, we really don’t know...

Acidity aside
In the back of her mind
The poison leaked through
No rooster to roo
But beyond blasting
A hole in my shoe
I tell her I love her
Nothing to do...

Last time I visited the zoo
I chatted with Mama Kangaroo.
She worried that as she hopped about,
Her infant roo would tumble out.
So I lent her my tube of Crazy Glue....

There once was an athletic kangaroo
Who came down with a bad case of the flu --
   He sneezed really loud
   Jumped over a cloud -- 
Landed with a red cape and an achoo...

Little Roo is bendin' low; body in a crouch
Just an itty bitty joey sitting in Mum's pouch
Still learning how to hop
But all he does is flop
I guess that's why he's always such a grouch...

Bucking the trend setter
of lines
never having a friend
do you like the journey so far
Yes i am talking to you
and the ones 
who know that this
is one sentence 
and all must come to an end....

There once was a child from Canada 
Who loved eating bananas, 
He went to the zoo 
Gave one to the roo, 
Now the roo has a banana colored bandana.

Framp town graces ring a wrong
Rooh Dah Roo Dah
Gramp down laces sling a thong
Oh Roo Rah Ray!

My eyes pop open
I am disoriented
I stumble 
My knee hits a chair

It twirls
Finally reach the door
Hear Trixie my muse laugh
She loves waking me up...

watching little animals and their antics ?
 very amusing ....

Patches cat brought home a Kangaroo Rat,
 and set it free in the night,
  it was hopping around our bedroom,
 to our squeals of delight,
so i shepherded it back to the doorway ,
back to the bush goodnight...

Numbers are given out randomly at the DMV.
No problem if you ask my roo Wallabee and me.
Wallabee gets his license renewed right away.
I sit and wait through noon ‘til the very next day.

Guess they liked you better than me I say to him.
He laughs and points to our other pal Old Jim.
They are prejudiced against women he says to me.
So what else is new? I ask my gloating pal Wallabee....

Assuring a zig-zagging zebra a zinc zim-bam-boo
without cash, is so brash! As then you will have to give two.
Insuring a zoo master  a zebra might rim-ram-roo
Practically tantamount to mashing a crashing bamboo.

As if you need any more trouble, my quim-quam-quaroo.
On your dash I shall lash a mashed mangled measly mad macaroo.
A sillier more gnashy poem I could try to get you.
But first let me throw in some trash, and a rash for us two....
