Bush Burden.

 

Across the Paddick.

 

Just over the fence or through the gate,

by the sliprail – it’s getting’ late –

makin’ for  that furthest hill.

 

Some green grass but most is brown,

the sheep are movin’ bit further down

past the tree to the nearby rill.

 

Water in the dam but we need more rain

to ease the sufferin’, ease the pain

cos the bank wont pay the feedin’ bill.

 

Night is nearin’ with mist on the rise,

light grey cloud is coverin’ the skies,

I should keep goin’

but I’ve

lost

the

 

will.

Good one Jim you seem to be getter as pessimistic as I am. Maybe its the passing years. Don't let the buggers get you down mate.
