Have you ever heard a dingo cry <br />The mournfull sound that blow on the wind <br />Chill you to the bone <br />The owl who stares at you from a tree <br />The stormbird that call for rain to come <br />To fill the billabong <br />Have you ever had a yowie <br />Rip your shirt clean of your back <br />After a long night on the rum <br />Well brother you are yet to live <br />You had better spend an Australian night <br />Deep in a Aussie bush <br />In the morning when the kookaburra laugh <br />The morning bush come alive <br />The insect cry, the bullant bite <br />The birds sing a special song <br />In perfect symphony around the billabong <br />The billy tea and damper <br />Fill an old bush hardened stomach <br />At last you know your home <br />Brother at last you know your home <br /> <br />Repost Series 2006<br /><br />allan James saywell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bush-rum-damper-2/
