On Common Wombats

In places where they once were plentiful nowadays they are extinct or few That common wombats are on the decrease is not saying anything that is new Of a family of the World's largest burrowing marsupials in Australia only to be found With their powerful paws they excavate big tunnels and burrow their way underground One reason many farmers look on them as a pest And with their burrowing ways are far from impressed For to say wombats are not endangered would be to pretend For their survival they are in need of every friend Due to the increase on motorized traffic on every highway More wombats are losing their lives every day On the decrease in wombat numbers human activity a huge part does play That wombats need friends for their species survival only true for to say Australia's largest marsupial of the burrowing kind The female with a pouch with a rear entrance to keep her young clean when she is digging by nature designed Animals that are seldom seen out and about in daylight They eat grass and roots in the paddocks at night.
