Kangaroo Man

Missing image
A fox may glide and a bat may fly
A lizard may drop his tail
But there’s none as grand as the kangaroo man
That I saw on the outback trail

So tall and grand was the kangaroo man
Bubbling over with pride
He was wild and free like the ghost gum tree
Dotting Australia’s country side

22.7.1974

In a list

    That was cute. Calling him a man. very good puts him in a difrent light.
    And showing his pride. That was good too.

      Thanks, mate. The big Red Kangaroo which is the biggest of them all is often referred to as the kangaroo man. Don't really know why but such is it! lol!!!!!!!!!!

    Kangaroos are the shit. Gotta love an animal that's so hoppy. Also gotta love em because, if you don't, they kick your face off your head, or head off your neck, or etc.

    I like the picture . There is a heck of a lot of power in those big old Kangaroo's. legs, tail even his chest looks like he's got muscles. We like to joke about them bouncing about but they travel at speed and are immensely graceful well I think so.
