Should Have Tied Skip Up Last Night. Just Plain Forgot

Should Have Tied Skip Up Last Night. Just Plain Forgot

 

Skip is my pet kangaroo

I tie up at home overnight

It seems that he wanted to go try his luck

In finding a lady, last night

 

G'day.....

 

The police they were good, they did track him

“A suspect in a grey furry coat”

Unfortunately they lost him in the parklands

The second line above is their quote

He did return next morning. No luck with ladies though. I've threatened to take away his beer if he does it again

Hi Don, Skip should have his own account.
I am sure he could write some good poetry.
I don't have a kangaroo of my own but I'm sure they are adorable creatures.

Thankyou Hannah for understanding my trauma. Skip bounding through the CBD at midnight, picked up on CCTV and getting the attention of the police.

I can understand a lack of knowing what to comment or like if one doesn't have their own pet kangaroo.

You obviously have one and can understand what I went through. Do you take him for rides around the street when you get home? Skip goes mental if he misses his daily ride.

I wouldn't swap him for a dog any day Hannah. He doesn't bark and annoy the neighbours

Skip says Hi but WOL techs won't let him put his pic here.......
