Watch me wallaby's feed mate. <br />Watch me wallaby's feed. <br />They're a dangerous breed mate. <br />So watch me wallaby's feed. <br />Altogether now! <br /> <br />Tie me kangaroo down sport, <br />tie me kangaroo down. <br />Tie me kangaroo down sport, <br />tie me kangaroo down. <br /> <br />This was not the impetus for song Rolf Harris wrote, <br />But it sounds appropriate. <br />One of those cute marsupials did attack a man and his dog, <br />The man fought off a kangaroo buy hitting it in throat, <br />A time which he and his dog will not forget. <br />Chris Rickard and his dog, Rocky, were out for walk this past Sunday Morn, <br /> <br />It happened in Arthur's Creek next to Melbourne. <br /> <br />When Rocky surprised a sleeping kangaroo, <br />-who awoke was scared and may have been forlorn. <br />The kangaroo was routed into a nearby creek, <br />For the kangaroo, it was in the nearby water, --security it would seek. <br />The kangaroo turned on its attacker with vengeance. <br />The kangaroo held the dog down underwater, <br />The dog writhed underwater in his submerged deadly dance. <br />Chris attempted to save his dog, but the kangaroo slashed him, <br />The kangaroo's hind leg caught his face and abdomen. <br />Then Chris, though injured, caught the kangaroo's throat with his elbow. <br />The kangaroo left the area to catch up on lost sleep, <br />- to somewhere else he would go. <br /> <br />It happened in Arthur's Creek next to Melbourne. <br /> <br />Arthur did not create the creek and the area we know now that is Melbourne, <br />Was created before Melbourne was. <br />It was Koala Bear and Kangaroo land; <br />- and Chris and Rocky were trespassing on it. <br /> <br />11-24-09<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tie-me-kangaroo-down-sport-tie-me-kangaroo-down/
