As an excerise for english class we had to write a poem about an animal.

It is the boxer in the outback, the powerful legs,
It is a tall one, standing strong.
The huge ears jutting from his head, tuning in always.
The short arms contrasting with the long legs.
The tan trench coat it wears twenty–four–seven.

Why does it, why does he hop, leap, jump.
Moving through life, never strolling, walking, crawling.
What is his life about, his family, his friends,
It stops, observes, always looking.
The name is Jack, the marsupial mammal.

The way it moves, the way it thinks.
Living there, here, anywhere.
