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.
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!
