 Tasmanian Devil

The Tasmanian devil is

Name of a marsupial who

Is known for its ferocious biz - 

For "devil" stuff that it can do.

A relatively small beast that

Has a very big shriek and bite,

A terror in its habitat,

Prowling about both day and night.

What is this bandicoot good for?

It's an environmentalist -

Aerates soil and eats pests galore,

Useful purposes to exist.

In Tasmania, just beware

A little "devil" may lurk there.
