Rock-a-Bye Wombat

Rock-a-bye wombat, with your big nose
Real big incisors and sharp pointy toes
(We can’t see them now, but we know they’re there)
So sleep and be peaceful, don’t mind if we stare.

I’m a wombat, and I’m asleep, and even I know that poem needed more work.

    I would sing that lullaby every day if I had my own wombat.

    It was a perfect little wombatty poem.

      Accent on the “batty”!! HaHa.

      We’re all a little wombatty around here, aren’t we?

    • ^oo^ November 10, 2016 / 2:14 am

      May I try another?

      Twinkle, twinkle little wombat,
      Stay away from human combat.
      Down below the earth please hide,
      Far from human woes reside,
      We all want to be like youse,
      Snuggled up for a long snooze.

        Oh, well done, ^oo^!

        • Murray C. November 10, 2016 / 9:35 am

          Excellent! “Youse” is a nice touch.

    Yay! Wombat Wednesday is back!!!

    • DebG November 9, 2016 / 3:40 pm

      May it never go away again! Moar wombatz plz!!!!

        I’ll do what I can. Good pictures/videos of wombats are harder to come by than pictures of household pets, so I really shouldn’t promise a weekly feature, as much as I’d like to.

        • allein ? November 9, 2016 / 4:33 pm

          There’s also On Wednesdays We Wear Pink. You can always mix it up.

    • Smartypants November 9, 2016 / 4:58 pm

      Yay for Wombat Wednesday, even if it isn’t every Wednesday!

      We could fill it out with other “W” creatures too (here’s a list I found at Zooborns: ‘Water Voles, Walruses, Whales, Wildcats, Wildebeests, Wolverines, Wolves’).

      • tara November 9, 2016 / 5:09 pm

        Oh hey – I can do Walrus Wednesday too! No problem! Great suggestions Smartypants!

          • Emmberrann November 9, 2016 / 6:09 pm

            No, thank You, Smarty pants!
            Yay for wombatses!

      • Amyliz November 9, 2016 / 5:23 pm

        Hown about wily coyotes???

      • Murray C. November 9, 2016 / 5:44 pm

        It’s our job to help Mike suss out cute pics of these creatures! Think of yourselves as Cutetropolis Gazette correspondents, out on the job searching out all that’s cute – bring it back to the newsroom for immediate publication so that rest of us can see and enjoy!

      • Smartypants November 9, 2016 / 6:02 pm

        Oh, and Warthogs. And Weevils – they’re not cute, but then we could make puns about ‘the lesser of two weevils.’ 😀

        • Faye November 9, 2016 / 6:44 pm

          I thought that was gonna happen on Tuesday. Weevils indeed.

        • fkaWaldenPond November 9, 2016 / 8:16 pm

          ‘Master and Commander’ reference! 😀 😀 (Seriously, one of my top 10 favourite movies.)

      • DebG November 9, 2016 / 6:03 pm

        I like this idea.

      • Smartypants November 10, 2016 / 7:35 am

        …and Woodchucks (groundhogs) – they even look a bit like wombats.

  4. Birdcage November 9, 2016 / 3:51 pm

    Love the poem, and love that snozz!!!!!!

    • Amyliz November 9, 2016 / 6:03 pm

      What did you find out at the doctor, Birdcage?

      • Murray C. November 10, 2016 / 12:28 am

        Yes, Birdcage, what’s going on?

  5. JenDeyan November 9, 2016 / 4:07 pm

    Wombats. They’re like really huge hamsters. ^_^

  6. Duckie ? November 9, 2016 / 9:33 pm

    On Wednesdays, we “w” animals wear pink.

  7. ^oo^ November 10, 2016 / 2:17 am

    New Super Heroes! Wombatman and Wobbin!

    • JenDeyan November 10, 2016 / 8:23 am

      I’d watch it.

      • Smartypants November 10, 2016 / 6:55 pm

        Me too – I hear you can stream it on Wamazon! 😀
