Koala Haiku

Sabrina Ricci
Koalas have been known to sleep up to 16 hours a day, or even 22 hours, depending on your source. When they are awake, they spend most of their time eating, and they can be quite aggressive.

Friends have described me as being koala-like (I have some koala-like tendencies and I'm small and apparently somewhat resemble a koala), although I'd like it to be known that I do not actually sleep all day, I just wrote that so my haiku would have the right number of syllables. I realize that if any of my friends read this, they will probably try to argue that I am lazy and sleep all day, but pay no attention to them.

Known to sleep all day

I get vicious when hungry

But like cuddling
