A hairy problem

I saw a man with lots of hair

sprouting from each ear.

With so much hair I wondered

how the man could hear.

The same poor man had lots more hair,

from his nose it grew.

How could he breathe, I wondered.

How did the air get through?

That same poor man was also bald —

How to fix his woes?

Just make a wig with the hair

from his ears and nose!

The wobbly wombat

I met a wobbly wombat

walking down the track.

I called “Hello” and “How are you?”

but he didn’t answer back.

I watched him dig a burrow

twenty metres long.

His front paws did the tunneling —

a wombat must be strong.

For dinner he ate grass and bark,

but meat? Oh no, never!

After giving him a carrot,

we’re Best Friends Forever!
