A struggle ensued at the zoo
when King Lion met Jack Kangaroo.
Leo tried to attack,
but Jack fired right back:
"Are you crazy, Cat? I know Kung Fu!"

Katie Kangaroo was keen,
'Koala!' she had just seen,
'K!' said Koala,
And her name was Karla,
Which was why Katie's so keen.

The Girl From Peru
There once was a girl from Peru
Who really wanted to be a kangaroo,
so she hopped up and down
in her frilly night gown
and ended up in the loo!

Zany Zoo
Last time I visited the zoo
I chatted with Mama Kangaroo.
She worried that as she hopped about,
Her infant roo would tumble out.
So I lent her my tube of Crazy Glue.

A Kangaroo Named Joe
A young ‘roo in Australia named Joe
At work, he was a no-call no-show
His boss he annoyed
He’s now unemployed
Where he works now, we really don’t know

Dreamstime Down Under
Matilda blew her didgeridoo
With wallabies hopping two by two
Some dingoes dropped by
To eat Shepherd's pie
Then off they went with a kangaroo.

A Taste of Honey
There once was a sly kangaroo
Who was jealous of Winnie-the-Poo
He tasted Poo's honey
She found that un-funny
Warning: "My jar's not for you to unscrew!"

A Big Leap
There once was a rhino from Timbuktu
Who considered himself a kangaroo--
He took a big leap
Landed all in a heap--
Sat up and played taps on his kazoo.

The Kangaroo Man
I've read the limerick written by you, ol' bloke
Gotta tell ya, Mate, as a limerick it's a joke
I'll throw my lines in the ring
Go ahead and take a swing
A bulldog packs a wallop with every poke

There once was an athletic kangaroo
Who came down with a bad case of the flu --
He sneezed really loud
Jumped over a cloud --
Landed with a red cape and an achoo

A Fairy Or a King
Dreams are amazing, you can be a fairy or a king
A champion boxer, a cartoon character, about anything
You can be female or male
A kangaroo, a flock of quail
The mind is unlimited, you could even be an ugly duckling

Koala Bears are cute li'l Aussie animals
Except for their smell, it could clear your passages
Told my Aussie lass
Who had a real sweet bum
Lost my kangaroo when she tickled my apparatus

Zoo
I was once hopped up to visit the zoo
Until hopped upon by a kangaroo.
Never met such a female grouch!
She beat me until in her pouch
A can of snoose I placed for her to chew.

A hard nut from Burnham on Crouch
Got bit by a crocodile, ouch
He snuck from the zoo
With a bush kangaroo
And a dead crocodile in its pouch

kaleidoscopic kangaroo
leaping 'cross lagoons of blue
splashed peripatetic porcupine
who shot a quill at her behind

Pursued by a kangaroo click
The girl jumped on her pogo stick
Flashing her tush
Out in the bush
It was over pretty damn quick!

Got nabbed when she tried to hock it

Sex in the raw

Leaping Kangaroos
My heart starts leaping like a kangaroo
When I see you standing there wearing just shoes
With eyes all aglow
Leaping to and fro
Ogling your attributes, great sweat balls I accrue

An evil kangaroo poacher from Perth
Rousted rare 'roos for all they were worth.
But, one day as he wrangled,
In his noose he got tangled,
Now of kangaroo poachers from Perth there's a dearth.

From Ballerina Dreams to Boxing Rings
A kangaroo, quite fond of a hop,
Tried to join a ballet troupe's top.
He leaped with such grace,
Then landed on face,
"Perhaps boxing," he muttered, "won't flop."
