When A Staffy Meets A Joey by James Aitchison

Leave a comment
By australianchildrenspoetry March 10, 2025

“Hello,” said the puppy,
“exactly who are you?”

“Hmph!” said the joey,
“I’m a kangaroo!”

The puppy said, “I’m only new,
I think I’ll grow quite tall.”

The joey laughed. “Next to me,
you’ll always be quite small!”
