The Alphabestiary
B is for Barnaby,
...a bandicoot from Ballarat,
who bothered bumblebees in the berry bushes.
The belligerent bees stung Barnaby's knees.
Barnaby bawled and bellowed and howled,
till his overheated brain crashed and burned.
Bitterly he repented, grievously he mourned
ever disturbing the bumblebees in the bushes!
Weeping and wailing he toppled and sat
on hill hallowed to irritable ants,
and soon Barnaby's bum grew sore, then numb.
Oh, pity the battered bandicoot of Ballarat!
