Billabong

They were gathered round the billabong to try to work things out but all that was being emitted was a right Caxton of sounds All were jabber, jabber and some pushing going on jostling each other for space none wanting to be left out At last the wallaby said whoa, stop I say STOP and quiet finally fell Lets give the chair to cockatoo He can perch up high from where he can keep things moving so watch for his signal Cockatoo opened the meeting and first called on Dingo you get everywhere Dingo what have you heard? Dingo says I heard the humans they are going to cut down the blue ridge forest and build many houses there That can not happen it is our home we will have to work together if we band we can delay their work So the animals agreed on a plan the big animals would sit in the roads slowing the trucks down While the monkeys would hide their tools Snakes would wrap their bodies around the marked trees while the birds and parrots the workers they would bomb All this drove the foreman to despair the work fell further and further behind We could build netted fences but that only stops the large animals The Wet will be on us in less than a month if the land is still un-cleared all work will come to a stop I think we need to reconsider and turn the Blue Ridge mountains into a reserve for them all there are plenty of other places Where we can build that do not have many animals lets leave them the ridges then we and our children Will have a sanctuary to come and watch these fighters they have shown us the errors not all land should be built on At the next meeting Dingo told them you are safe your homes will be left untouched all we all have to do is show our faces Pose for the odd photo amuse with a few tricks and in return we can live in peace
