Rush hour

It's Rush hour 
On Buffalo Swamp Road
Five 'o clock in winter time
Time to rush
To grab some food
Before dusk
In the last minutes of daylight
Kangaroos galore abound
Madly bounding around
Rabbits or hares 
Darting in front of the wheels 
Dashing here and there
All in a tutter
They had all day 
Really to graze 
Visit and rest 
So what's the hurry?
At least I get the rabbits
They've got a warm warren 
To go back to
But the Roos 
Will battle the deep winter night 
Without a shelter
So tell me
What's the rush?
