Big Feet And Raw Meat (or more properly,Roo And Bear)

There was a great conversation between
A kangaroo and a polar bear
How this came to be, I do not know
For the kangaroo lives down undra

And the polar bear lives up on the frozen Tundra
But about such details I will not worry
I will still tell you my story

It seems that the kangaroo was distressed
About his very large feet
And the polar bear did not
Like to eat raw meat

The polar bear said he wanted his
Meat to be bar-b-qued
This of course greatly upset
The poor kangaroo

How they should solve their dilemma
I did not know at all
For after all, a kangaroo is a kangaroo
And a bear is supposed to eat meat raw

I sat and listened for the longest while
Then finally I left,  for I did not know
Just what to do.  Later,  I heard that the Roo
bought a didgeridoo, and the bear went  home to his snow

Am interested to know how that turned out. Did bear have a Roo BBQ, or did bear get kicked? Very creative. ~Jess ---------------------------------------------------- "I hope no one asks me to show them the ropes; I have no idea where they are.
