Hoppity the Kangaroo
Hoppity was a kangaroo,
Like the one from London Zoo;
One day he jumped into a fog,
And bumped into a sausage dog.

"Goodness me!"said Heinz a - barking,"
This is not the time for parking."
Said Kangaroo, "The fog looks queer,
But now I have a good idea."

"Why don't you hop into my pouch?
It's as comfy as a couch."
"Thank you," said Heinz to Kangaroo,
"What a lovely thing to do."

Now when the fog had cleared away,
What do you think they had to say?
"Let's be friends and stay together."
And off they hopped for ever and ever.

Was lying asleep on his side in the
sun.
This old kangaroo, he was whisking
the flies
(With his long glossy tail) from his ears and his eyes.
