Roo Road Rules by Celia Berrell

Why do kangaroos cross the road?
To get to the other side!
But ’roos don’t know their highway code
and some of them have died.

When travelling through Aussie bush,
best keep your eyes peeled wide.
Watch for signs and please don’t rush –
especially ’round dawn and dusk –
as that’s the time when ’roos might hide
along a lonely roadside.

“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!”
