Koala bear, koala bear
Lounging in a tree
Happy and lazy
As a koala should be
Soaking up the sun
Leaves in his belly
Then comes laughing
laughing in his tree
He raises his head and shouts
Knowing who it would be
bugger off mister kookaburra
This gum tree belongs to me
Don’t pick your nose
Don’t pick your nose
don’t pick
don’t pick
Don’t pick your nose
Cos everyone knows
It’s gross
It’s gross
To pick your nose
To pick your nose
So please don’t
Please don’t,
pick your nose

The Twisting Tail 
Yes very gross! I think you struck the right tone for the kids – they would eat these up! (hehe! Gross!)

That’s good to hear. I haven’t written much for the children since I filled a book. I felt a bit rusty.
My son is picking his nose in almost every photo I took of him yesterday 🤣

Aww the first one is cute. Now that’s a gross excavation and perhaps a shovel would help. 😂💙

🤣 the time my kids spend picking their noses perhaps shovels would speed up the process 💚

Actually, as most Aussies know, koalas do a far more gross thing than pick their nose. More specifically, it is something that all baby koalas must do in order to be able to digest their food and thus it is essential for their survival.

Koalas are fascinating creatures. I miss seeing them on regular basis. The wildlife here is lacking after being raised in Oz.

Well, I live in Melbourne and so I never see them either. In fact, even when I went to the bush, I never saw them there either.

Few and far between in Victoria. Though from what I’ve heard not many left anywhere else after the recent fires.
