The Roos at the Drive In

BeowulfAnthony E

The Kangaroo Family also called the Roo's spent all their time together

They went swimming and enjoyed going to the park

They loved hiking trails and picnicking in the afternoon

But they always came home well before dark
 

The Roo kids wanted to go out at night

They wanted to go to the Drive in Movie

Please, please, Daddy, can you take us

Well Daddy Roo was feeling kinda groovy
 

"OK we can go as long as it doesn’t cost too much,"

Was all that Mamma Roo said

So they packed up all 5 kids in the car

And they nibbled on peanut butter bread
 

As they drove up to Owl the ticket taker

The ticket sign said ten dollars each

Daddy Roo didn’t have enough money

And Mamma Roo could not even speak
 

"Hurry fast," said Daddy Roo

We will have to find another way

As he drove up to Owl the ticket taker

He got out his money to pay
 

Owl looked into the car window

Are there only two of you inside?

The back of the car was empty

Where did all of the kids hide?
 

Owl saw Daddy Roo’s pouch

It was big and it really stood out

Owl said, “Who is in there?”

Tell those kids to come on out
 

Daddy Roo searched and lurched

He pulled out an umbrella and began to say

I always keep this yellow umbrella

Just in case of a rainy day
 

Owl looked and saw something else

Something was poking out

"Who is that in your pouch

Who and what is this all about?"
 

Daddy Roo said, “I would never trick you.”

He said it with his fingers crossed

Then he pulled out a bowling pin

And a bright red bowling ball
 

Ok, Ok, said Owl, you can come in

Just then the kids popped out of Mamma's pouch

Daddy Roo had a scared looked on his face

He thought that they might all be kicked out
 

Then Owl smiled at them and said,

"Roos, do not worry about the ten dollar ticket fee

Because it’s Tuesday and on every Tuesday

All Kids are always FREE!
