Animal Adventures

by Maria aged 10

Some people say
That there are such things as drop bears today.
They wait in a tree,
Full of glee,
Waiting to fall on someone like me.
Then… “Plop” as the creature drops to the ground.
“Arrgh,” people shout as they flee.
As scared as a hippo, frightened as a dodo.

You might be wondering why I chose to write about drop-bears. “We…ell.”
Dodos are a big no-no
Cheetahs – well they really are cheaters.
But drop bears – they’re different.
They sit in a tree, eating all day.
Just like I would if I could.
