Wallabies and Kangaroos are not so far related,
and so I can't quite comprehend when either beast is hated.
Observers of the nature strip see what might just be fated;
The petri-dish of modern life suggests the two be mated.
... [The Historic verse 2 goes here ] ...
And now the landscape's changing. But why, has got me bushed.
In the hoppo-bumpo, wildlife stoush, are money-pouches pushed?
More recently we've seen a trend. The kangaroo's are shrinking.
New Wallabies keep springing up. What are the old mob thinking?
That Sailor, Wendell, former Roo; the girls think he's a hotty.
The same in fact for Rodgers, Matt; so too, Tuqiri, Lote.
Another yet, a native pet, a kangaroo and dragon,
a mate of "Choc", is N.Blacklock; till wheels came off his wagon;
A stately rep 'mongst waratahs, and just as my mate reckons,
against the Bulls, his wallaby class was shown in twenty seconds.
One Kangaroo-non-Wallaby, beacause of where he's born,
turned out to be a Kiwi-Roo! Unique indeed; Brad Thorn.
These guys, it seems, have proven that the wind can blow each way.
They demonstrate, in leaps and bounds, great progress ev'ry play.
So Wallabies and Kangaroos aren't such a different two.
I wished I had been either one. (I'm just a potoroo.)
It's tough to say one breed is "best", or which one is the oddest.
At grass roots we're all hopping mad; the family 'Macropodus'.
