BAG A KOALA  by Jean Mills 

I always look for koalas when I am wandering down a track
I have a stuffed koala and a koala sack.
I also have a strange looking koala back pack

Would I shove a real koala in my suitcase so no-one else could see.
I would love to bag a koala and bring it home with me.
Yes I would!   …   but then I’d set it free.

Koalas love munching on special gum leaves in eucalyptus canopies.
which leaves them mostly fat and sleepy and much too tired to chat to any busy bees.
I wish that I had real cuddly koalas living in my trees.
Yes please

There are many succulent gums for them to eat if they came my way.
They could even come to visit and stay for holidays.
On their way to Appin or somewhere else not too faraway

I scan the eucalyptus trees for koalas when I travel in the outback.
Please help save our local koalas; their future looks quite black.
and keep a look out so drop bears don’t attack

OH NO !!!!!
