 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

JUST AFTER DAWN OUTBACK AUSTRALIA


I wake early
Feelen slack~
Slide off bunk
Land on my back~
Look for boots
Under bed~
Its by the fire place
I guess Instead~
Sit down ag'en
Pull on my shirt~
Bump my head
But did't hurt~
Crawl outside
To check the day~
All I can smell
Is chooks and hay~
Horse sees me
And gives a nay~
I manage a weak Gday~
I can see the jillaroo
She's already up its true~
Walken horses by the yard~
Hell this life is more than hard~
But after a breakfast
All's ever fine~
I'll feel better
Down the line~
Late night out
It serves me right~
How come jillaroo looks so good
After last night~
Sang my heart out
In the shearing shed~
Don't know how I found
My way to bed bed~
Make my way
To kitchen door~
Others laughing
Seen this before~
Just a part of
Outback life~
It could be worse
Could have a wife~
Love my horse n
Love my dog~
Rollen my own
Sitten on a log~
Get some life
Is the boss man's cry~
Who knows tomorrow
I might just die~
But won't do that
They'd all just cheer~
What cha want for breakast?
I'll just have another beer ~
