Australian Gliders

Hesitant beady eyes
staring out at the crowd
Creeping out from its box
timid but excited for some tasty food
Long whiskers twitching from all the new smells
Fleecy, delicate body
getting carried around in front of everyone
Crawling on a perch
getting ready to glide
across the room putting on a show
