Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat

Soft fur
Almost looks like a blur
dig, dig, dig,
No one else but me and myself
The Northern Territory is my home
Where else would possibly suit me?
About to take off
This wombat’s gotta fly
As still as a statue
Sometimes I might die
Nothing much more
Than to be cooler than a bear
The sunny-hazed moon
High above my head
My hairy nose is my best feature
Early in the night the soft stars glow
What more could I want than an early morning flow?
