Greater Bilby Poem by Ima Ryma

The greater bilby also known
As the rabbit eared bandicoot
Lives in Australia's desert zone,
And oft in burrowing pursuit.
These small marsupials do dig
Deep and spiraled burrows so that
Other animals small and big
Can borrow a cool safe habitat.
The burrows also do aerate
The soil and make it better for
Healthy plant life to populate,
Helping the ecosystem more.

The greater bilby surely be
A good neighbor in high degree.
