English poem
The Unsociable Wallaby
by C. J. Dennis (1876–1938)
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!

I wonder whether, all together, you and I and father Could eat a bun that weighs a ton. I'd like to try it, rather.
I want to know why roosters crow at dawning of the day. Is it because they cannot think of something else to say?
