by Jean Sasse

Le kangourou
Language: French (Français) 
Est-ce vraiment par goût
Que l'ami Kangourou
Malingre et plein de poux
N'avance qu'à genoux?
Tout comme la sarigue
Qui déteste la gigue
Ce marsupial est né
Illusionniste en tout
Qui les doigts dans le nez
(Rien en mains tout en poche)
Vous sort de sa sacoche
Un petit marabout.
