TUCKER TIME
“The fires were bad,
“I was very scared,”
The wombat said
To the kangaroo.
“I had to hop
“Ahead of the flames,”
The kanga said,
“But I got out too.”
“I got help from
“A human being,”
The wombat said
To the kangaroo.
“So did I, mate!”
The kangaroo smiled.
“I’m glad they knew
“What they had to do!”
