Roos News Poem by Ima Ryma

Twenty fourteen - humans did test
Us kangaroos to check out tail.
Was it just a wagger at best,
Or on a much more useful scale?
The humans trained us to walk on
A flat force measuring device
With fancy cameras upon,
To get the tale of tail precise.
The tail exerted as much force
As the four other legs combined,
And made the human news of course -
The stuff that blows the human mind.

Test a human by kangaroo?
We have much better stuff to do.
