Its Called The Outback : Funny Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

 

Some like the city  , some like the scrub .

Some like to bath in an old steel tub.

Some celebrate in a local club .

But there’s nothing beats an outback pub .

You’ll hear the kookaburras giggle ,

And see the frill neck lizards wriggle .

But if you should see a Wallaby

Chase a dingo up a mango tree    ,

Get yourself a stubbie in the hand .

 

 

Some drink to your health while it is here .

Some like the taste of an ice cold beer .

Some have get up and go , some are gone .

But as long as this is going on ,

We’ll all say g’day and crack a smile  ,

See a crocodile and run a mile ,

Swipe the blow flies off a party pie ,

But if southern stars fall from the sky ,

Get yourself a stubbie in the hand . 

 

 

Some cook with a wok , some barbecue ,

Some people go crook , some are true blue .

Some say no worries , she’ll be right mate ,

In the outback , its never too late .

To plant your feet like a Waratah

Or act up like a bloody Galah

But if you should see a kangaroo

Start to play on a didgeridoo

Get yourself a stubbie in the hand .

 

 

 

Some like to watch to watch a show on TV

Some like a sunset down by the sea,

Some climb a mountain , some walk a track .

While some get married in the outback .

Wrap a garter round a boomerang ,

Someone will catch it , one of the gang   .

Throw confetti from a hot tin roof

There’s nothing better and that’s the truth     

Get yourself a stubbie in the hand .
