Mother's Special Pouch

JOSIE'S POEMS

Animal Poems for Children

By Josie Whitehead

‘Come, hop inside my special pouch,’

Said Mummy Kangaroo.

'Then I can hop along at speed

And also, so can you.'

‘Come, hop inside my special pouch.

It’s time to take a ride.

The ride maybe quite bumpy though,

But you’ll be safe inside.’

‘But will I feel a little sick?’

Enquired her baby Roo?

And Mummy said: ‘Of course not dear.

It’s what we kangas do.’

So safe inside his mother’s pouch,

They both set off at speed,

And hop, hop, hop they jogged along,

And he had fun, indeed!
