Brisbane

Brisbane Rain squall just came from east of me, Came blowing from the big blue sea, 5 pm the windows shut, For I in Brisbane be. Brown snakes and lizards do hide, From the city dwellers, do slide, Green Frogs there used to be, Cane toads suck em down for free, Green Frogs don’t suicide. Fly screens keep the mossies out, Midges sand flies, catch you out, They come through to get you Clyde, There is no itch in doubt. The sun the sand the cooling breeze, Live on the beach, be at your ease, Hippies still enjoy the lifestyle, these, Things are of our nation… Brisbane at 5pm
