I hope they're on pegs, 

 Because if they're legs, 

 They are altogether shocking. 

 They have no feet, 

 And almost meet, 

 And haven't the sign of a stocking.

 A KANGAR-ROOSTER-ROO 

 Why, here's our dear old hopper, 

   Our Kangar-rooster-roo! 

 And seeing he's such a whopper, 

   I'll certainly not say "Shoo"! 

 Then there are two, you see, 

   So I'd better hold my peace, 

 Or they may sit on me 

   And leave me a crumpled crease.
