Animals (Oz)

If I ever had a platypus [Nym]

I'd teach it how to cuss [Kansas Sam]

If I ever had a koala bear [Karin]

I'd teach it, too, how to swear [Francine]

But if I had a kangaroo [Nym]

I'd show it how to hop in glue [Francine]

And if I had a kookaburra [Nym]

I'd teach it Middle English words like "sirrah." [Francine]

I wish I had a wallaby [Nym]

I'd dare it to scream, "Fire!" [Kansas Sam]

And then he'd be a wannabee [Francine]

I dream to own a wombat [Nym]

A rabbit and deafened bat [Francine]

What happened here? It fell so flat... [Anon.]
