1009 - Terror Australis


Haiku Horizons prompt: drop


Terror Australis

There’s venomous snakes,
(As if spiders weren’t enough)
And there’s drop bears too.

Big, carnivorous,
Could eat the snakes and spiders:
Prefers the tourists.

  3. My son worked in Melbourne for 6 months last year. I'm kinda glad nothing nefarious dropped on him.

  4. I told some guests to the island I was living and working on once as they were about to head off for a walk to be careful of the "killer koalas"...I still smile when I remember the looks on their faces! For the first couple of minutes they thought I was being serious!
