A POEM: Our Australian Bush

The gum trees are swaying,

And the horses are braying.

All the magpies sing,

While cow bells ring.

The kangaroos jump,

And land with a thump.

The old sheep eat.

The lambs softly bleat.

The flowers smell sweet.

Koala enjoys a leaf treat.

The many creeks run,

And children have fun.

The sun shines bright.

It’s a beautiful sight.

Our Australian bush.
