Once there was an emu - lived in the great outback
He camped along a river where the winding track ran back
Where river gums were sprawling and the crocs all sunbathed long
An emu on the river danced and sang a silly song
When Mollie the koala passed she had to stop and see
If it were true the emu was as silly as can be
She sat atop her feeding ground and gazed on down below
To see the emu do his dance and sing up quite a show
Now Ben the old man kangaroo saw Mollie sitting there
Laughing loud and cackling as she gazed out there somewhere
He followed where her eyes did lead and saw what there she saw
The emu on the river bank and dancing up a storm
And kookaburra Kelly flew in on the morning flight
And took a perch to watch the show that was a crazy sight
While maverick the dingo stood upon the rocky hill
And watched the other critters watch the silly dancing dill

I've gone from never reading a poem about an emu in my life, to reading two in a matter of minutes, both of which were extremely well written, though each with an entirely different feel. Great write here!!
