The challenge – write something using the work prompt: Kangaroo. The prompt comes from Jennifer Nichole Wells fabulous site.
Try as I might I have been completely incapable of coming up with an idea of interest on the matter of the Kangaroo. For three months I have churned out all manner of things on a ludicrous breadth of subjects but the Kangaroo has me flummoxed.
I think perhaps I find them rather underwhelming, despite their large feet and ability to box grown men in the circus which should be more impressive than it actually is. I look at them and I feel nothing inspiring despite the wonder I am sure some would say they are.
I know that probably makes me beastly, but I think it might just be the vacant look on their faces that I find so very dull, and I am sorry but it makes me want to punch them. Right in the face.
Now as cruel as that might seem, given their ability in the ring I am pretty sure I would be able to claim self defence if I was found wrestling one to the ground in the street.
If I was going to dispose of any large amount of them, and obviously this is just hypothetically speaking – I think that a tornado would be my weapon of choice. Let us assume that they went a little crazy and started stealing babies as animals in Australia are, I believe, quite prone to do. Dingo’s stole Azaria Chamberlain if her mother is to believed so I don’t think it is too far a stretch of the imagination.
It’s not like I’m proposing a koala stole a chubby toddler, that would be ludicrous. Koala’s are far too weak for that.
Anyway, back to my kangaroo filled tornado.
The thought of a couple of thousand of them whisked into the air and spinning uncontrollably looking all perplexed and bewildered has me chuckling far more than it should. Sorry.
Right, as I was saying – nothing to see here and fingers crossed next week’s prompt has me more inspired.
Sorry Jennifer.
More stuff to read perhaps?

It’s like Sharknado, but for kangaroos… Kanganado! Nah, you’re right. It doesn’t have the same feel
