Kangaroos by Ogden Nash

The kangaroo can jump incredible.
He has to jump, because he's edible.
I could not eat a kangaroo,
But many fine Australians do.
Those with cookbooks as well as boomerangs
Prefer him in tasty kangaroo meringues.

(Ogden Nash wrote this to be read along with Saint-Saens' The Carnival of Animals - Kangaroos.)

Haha! I love Ogden Nash. Stealthy end rhyme of boomerang and merinque.

There is a shop in the markets called Wild Oz, and they sell meat from wild animals that have been culled. I have been introduced to it just recently, and I think i will start shopping there more, seeing as how my attempts to be vegan at home have failed so far...
