Answers
Answer with Explanation:
The Kangaroo does not want to catch ‘rheumatism’. In stanza 3 the word ‘rheumatism’ is spelt differently for maintaining rhythm in the stanza. It is written in two parts - roo + Matiz. 'Roo' rhymes with 'Kangaroo'.
The second part 'Matiz' begins with a capital letter because generally, the first word of every line of a poem starts with a capital letter.

Answer:
Roo- matiz
Explanation:
It is used differently because word ‘’roo’’ rhymes with word Kangaroo and ‘’martiz’’ is used for the word rheumatism which is a disease of joint pains. Rheumatism is separated into two parts in this poem because of the rhyme. Because ‘’roo’’ is separated from rheumatism for the word ‘’Kangaroo’’ and ‘’matiz’’ is separated from the rheumatism for indicating a disease which Kangaroo doesn’t want to get this disease.
