G’day, a day late! Byron the Quokka here; and I never made it to the blog yesterday because we were all busy putting the finishing touches on our 100% original new school song for Quokka University! It was composed by a committee, so you know it’s bound to be good. Here’s the first verse: you’ll have to imagine me singing it. If you can’t, then imagine Pavarotti. Next best thing.
At Quokka University we laugh at all adversity!
We never bother with degrees, or courses, grades, or manatees!
We know the tricks of pick-up sticks, our team contains no lunatics–
Ipso loquitor mannimota! We’ve never been to South Dakota!
Some quokka named Foozle who hangs around with goanna lizards and has been influenced by their way of thinking says that last line is totally weak. “What in the world does South Dakota have to do with it?” I don’t like the face he makes when he says something like that. Well, the committee voted to keep the line, so there! If a couple of us do wind up visiting South Dakota (we hear it’s very nice!) we’ll just change the words to something else that rhymes: quota, iota, whatever.
And now I’ve got to go round up some popcorn, because before you know it, it’ll be Oy, Rodney time; and even a nit like Foozle won’t want to miss that.
Oooh, Byron, you are soooo adorable! I can just hear you now, lifting your voice in song.
Hilarious! Foozle doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
I have been to South Dakota, however. I can report that there are a lot of prairie dogs there, which are kind of like skinny quokkas who live in the desert. Make sure to visit them if you ever go there.
Good song Byron, Well done.
It sounds even better than it reads.
Glad to see so much progress taking place at Quokka University. Can’t wait until I can take a trip down-under and visit it.
That’s so adorable!! And Quokka’s picture is super cute.
