KANGAROO PENELOPE

​

A cat is normal

A dog, maybe so.

But a kangaroo for a pet

Might NOT be the way to go.

​

My friends being friends

Made my life a bit hard.

When I took my kangaroo

Out in the front yard.

​

Their dogs they did walk

Their cats... more a drag.

My kangaroo jumps

And each jump is, well, MAG...

​

...NIFICENT, that's it.

There's no other way

To believe how high she jumps

We might test it one day.

​

She's not on a leash

Goes wherever she wants.

With me in her pouch

Despite my friend's taunts.

​

My friend's dogs chase sticks

Their cats? Nap time!...it's noon.

Kangaroo Penelope and me

We jumped over the moon.

​

​

Kangaroo Penelope

I wrote Kangaroo Penelope because I was thinking about strange pets that people have...

 

...and because I really wanted to draw and paint a kangaroo. Sometimes that's the way it goes.

​

And, no, I haven't done the drawing and painting yet. But I will soon!
