Do You Know? Kangaroo. Poem by Ima Ryma

Do You Know? Kangaroo.



Australia was a new found land,
That Europeans did explore.
A beast they could not understand,
Did have a pouch and hopped galore.
The Europeans thus did ask
The native Aborigine,
What was this beast? - a language task.
Communication failed to be.
The Aborigine reply
Was, 'Kangaroo, ' politely so.
Europeans talked strange was why.
'Kangaroo' meant 'I don't know.'

If asked, 'Is this a myth? ' by you,
My reply would be, 'Kangaroo.'
