The Unsociable Wallaby (Poem by C. J. Dennis)

The Unsociable Wallaby

By C. J. Dennis

Willie spied a wallaby hopping through the fern — 

Here a jump, here a thump, there a sudden turn.

    Willie called the wallaby, begging him to stop,

    But he went among the wattles with a

                                    flip,

                                                flap,

                                                           flop!
