Advice for Spiderman who, in the above shot, is contemplating where he should and shouldn't bring his Koala Bear.
A poem which attempts to dissuade you from bringing your Koala to Liffey Sound*
.
Don't bring your koala to Liffey Sound
There's little eucalyptus enough to be found
without him eating through it, he'd be browned
off with the community station
.
He'd be so unfit, your dodgy marsupial
he'd want to go pirate, just like a troupial**
Oh twould be very painful, even worse than rupial***
Listen there's no invitation
.
For teddy bears disguised with pouches
They're far better off hanging out on couches
He'd nibble the microphone, cause so much ouches
Don't let him enact desperation
.
Koala BEARS are far too clingy
for broadcasting, wouldn't be very singy
Tell him go way on a boat, a ship or a dingy
but no Liffey Sound for your Koala today
.
*Liffey Sound is a local radio station in Lucan for anyone who hasn't heard of it - hot debate on the classification of koala bears can be found here. http://sundayscrapbook.
**Troupial is a bird that specialises in pirating nests - ie pushing out other birds
*** Rupial is a skin disease occuring specially in tertiary syphilis

tertiary syphilis, rupial, troupial...WOW! here's to more poems with footnotes!
I remember the day pandemonium gripped us,
A hungry koala excitely nipped us,
Thought that our hair was brown eucalyptus,
Tonsorial devastation!
ps left a comment on your plea for no more awards...it was an irish "no" right!?
Quite brilliant.
No, no quite. Just brilliant.
And I learned stuff. I learned stuff!!
Thanks Words, my aim is to inform and entertain! - and tks for the award
:-)
Tonsorial Peter!!! Genius.
Tks Oub - I hope you see the error of your ways re the insistence that a koala can't be a bear..
Titus - apologies for the learning, will try to be more careful in future!
oh, I meant the 'quite' in the American way - ie 'very'... not like, 'quite' in the stiff upper lip Enlgish way :o)
Or something.
I totally knew that Oub, for some reason I have an american accent today
Where's anonymous?
More brilliance! (That's a positive comment, not a request/crticism)
Thanks TFE!
I'm always here lurking around in the background
At first I was thinking, "Is Liffey Sound" an Irish music shop? And then I remembered...
"troupial" and "rupial" had me gasping!
Great one!

(Are you not putting these on the separate blog anymore? I commented at the platypus one just now.)
