Read together
In Tasmania, there's a marsupial,
Whose name is Joey, he's quite a trial.
He lives in a pouch on his mother's tummy,
And that's where he stays, safe and comfy.
Joey's habitat is the wild outdoors,
Where he jumps and plays, and sometimes snores.
He's a very special creature, you see,
A marsupial, like a kangaroo or wallaby.
Now what does that mean, you might ask?
It means Joey's different, a unique little task.
In Australia, they have many like him,
Animals with pouches, it's really quite a whim.
But Joey's the star of this little rhyme,
A cute little creature, happy all the time.
He's from Tasmania, a place far away,
But we can still learn from him every day.
Talk about it
