toot toot kangaroo

OK so I'm posting to frank again. anyway Well it had to happen I guess. So many of my foreign friends think of me, relate me to kangaroos! (I'm sure pretty much every other aussie finds themselves in similar situations. .. so yes, last night the idea of riding on a kanga crept into my dream. I was at somewhere (forget where) with a group of people and, instead of catching the train home, I was going to take a ride on a kangaroo. I was taken over to the one who was going to take me home and I put my arms around it's neck and tried to drag myself up. and then it said "jump on to my back," (no i'm not crazy, I don't think. I don't think I've ever dreamed of an animal that could talk, like kid's material always says, but there we go! so I tried again to jump on his back. anyway I all of a sudden got nervous and excused myself to the toilet, and I woke up. amusing. OK Well, I remember at RVIB school, hearing this crazy nonsense poem about a peanut sitting on a railway track and getting squashed into peanut butter. then a few years later, Bec and I were singing it. and, it just crossed my mind again a few days ago so this morning, I finally googled the words I remembered. A peanut sat on a railway track,
His heart was all a flutter.
The five-fifteen came rushing by,
"Toot! Toot!"
Peanut butter!
(taken from the first web site I came to: http://www.abc.net.au/splatt/rhymes/153.htm ) I'm sure the "5.15 train" that it referred to is a politically correct version. I don't remember the original but I know it wasn't that!
just an interesting post for a Saturday morning. Now I feel crazy!
Til next time, RdFreak
