And share a branch of Christmas leaves.
No matter what the weather

since Blinky Bill the book
Before that, heaven knows
No-one’s been there to look.

introduced by the invaders
We koalas have adopted it
With good cheer and behaviours

at this time of year but
It’s getting ever harder
as we cross the road with fear.

but our habitat’s now houses
We can’t see friends and family there
but women wearing blouses.

down in Woolworth’s carpark
It took 3 days to find the lift
and exit through the checkout.

in a tree forlorn
Alone in a barren paddock,
unable to forewarn.

for miles and miles around
There’s no path for us to find her
and no forest in which to bound

amidst a luscious garden
He cries out loudly every night
asks young Louis to beg his pardon

but it seems that he is stranded,
With no answer to his mating calls,
a wife he has not landed.

To find our kith and kin
And celebrate with leafy cake
Another Christmas in Australia
