Our lovely Aussie icon
The cuddly Koala Bear
Is sometimes hard to spot
High up in the air
Their habitat is shrinking
As we timber fell their trees
And bushfires ravage homeland
Igniting tinder dry gum leaves
Let’s take care of our sleepy friend
So we can entertain the tourists
With drop bear tales, Caramellos
And natural sightings in the forests
