Duck: That won’t, be a problem. I will cover them with woollen socks.
Question 3:
The Kangaroo does not want to catch ‘rheumatism. Spot this word in stanza 3
and say why it is spelt differently. Why is it in two parts? Why does the second part begin with a capital letter?

roo — Matiz = rheumatism

Yes, the poem is humorous. Take for example:
“But quite at the end of my tail.”
