Oh, koala!
You make my life entertaining.
You always dance on my bark like a butterfly.
Cuddly, charming and curious
Oh koala, you make me feel like dancing
Oh, rain!
You keep me viable.
Your water is a god.
Moist, damp and dewy
Oh rain, how can I live without you.
Oh, younger self!
You have so much ahead of you.
I have a million things to inform you.
Homely, affectionate and warm-hearted
Oh younger self you should be ecstatic.
