Dirrawan went into the bush to spear waat, <br />but he forgot about waat the red wallaby. <br />he thought about dirridirri the small bird and deereeree the wagtail <br />he thought about wonning the lightning and tumberumba the thunder. <br /> <br />He did not spear anything at all. <br /> <br />Dirrawan went to the Long Brown Water to catch makora. <br />he thought about balleballea the silence of the night, <br />he thought about ballanda the long time ago. <br /> <br />He did not catch any fish, he brought back a new song to the gunyahs.<br /><br />James Martin Devaney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dirrawan-the-song-maker/
