Perspective from Down Under

The rantings, some political, some funny, some both from a 30 something single in Melbourne Australia.

I haven't posted for some time so I thought I would throw up a poem. A good ole' Aussie bush poem.

Me & Fred


Walkin round the bush

No-one here that I can see

Some spotty cows, a kangaroo

Fred the dog, and me


Now me & Fred we’ve been best mates

Six years now or more

He choose me at a cattle station

Kept hanging round me door


From time to time we don’t have much

Me swag, me boots, me rhyme

But we get by on what we got

And curl by the fire


It’s what we both born to do

Hear sheep baa and cattle moo

Sleep at night under stars and moon

That’s what Fred & Me like to do


So if it’s us you see by the road at night

Don’t look at us with pity or fright

Cause we’re not lonely, sad or blue

Me & Fred got each other, probably happier than you
