Bora born
Abbott street blues _
Friday night strikes on the court house lawn
banded around by emperor palms.
Southern delta blues fills the sound stage
Doylies pub rockers have come to town.
The sounds and smells float down abbott street
Perrotto's chefs to taste test the air.
After work there's one place they're going
hot dog specials spread sensual affairs.
Barbecues on coke steal the senses
two gold coins of change will set you free.
Then serve up a treat hard to follow
floating on a frangipanni breeze.
Chained heat beat delivers the message
Johno's in bluesy rare form tonight.
Rifts and licks tease body rhythms
while we crowd in his house of the rising sun.
