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 is written to give similarity to ‘rheumatism’. To give the rhyme of Kangaroo in the second line, ‘roo’ has been written in the first line. The second part is the first alphabet of a new line in poetry, so it is written with a capital letter.
