Hold On To Your Pants Joseph L. Parsley

This is a story poem about a make-believe animal family that feels like they need to wear pants but can't seem to get it to work for them. (Pants falling down is always funny). It is a made-up story, so it seemed appropriate to use a made-up animal. I took the cutest parts of two cute animals which are real, then put them together to make a cute make-believe animal. It is not too farfetched because a Koala Bear is not a bear, they are both marsupials. Who knows, some day it could happen. I took part of the names of those animals, (Koala Bear and Wallaroo) and made the name Kallaboo. If a Kallaboo were a real animal, I think they would get along well with humans because we would adore them. I think we would patiently help them with their pants problem. I am looking forward to writing more Kallaboo stories.
