The Emu

In the Aussie outback, a wild emu did wander,
With feathers so silky, it made the land its own.
It spotted its prey, a person so supple,
With a determined stalk, it began to compete.

The emu ran with speed, its steps light and swift,
Through the bush and the scrub, it was quite a scheme.
But the person was smart, they had a plan,
To outplay the emu and escape its grandstand.

They twisted and they turned, with a jump and a bound,
Staying clear of the emu's beak, they covered much ground.
The emu grew fatigued, its pursuit losing steam,
As the person slithered away, like a fading dream.

And so the emu withdrew, its hunt at an end,
But the memory endured, of the chase it did send.
For in the wild outback, where nature is free,
The emu hunts on, forever wild and unworried.
