#23 Poetry

THE KANGAROO by Ogden Nash

O Kangaroo, O Kangaroo
Be grateful that you're in the zoo,
And not transmuted by a boomerang
To zestful tangy Kangaroo meringue.

a great humorist poem of Odgen Nash
hope that the Kangaroos are well looked after in the zoo, they look a bit sad
excellent combination of the poem and your composition

Excellent. I just watched the documentary last night about the devastating brush fires from 2009. I cried a good bit.

This reminded me of another poem by Ogden Nash.

I think that I will never see,
A billboard lovely as a tree,
Indeed unless the billboards fall,
I'll never see a tee at all.

A marvelous portrait and wonderful poem. :) BV
