Keefer, the Rabid Dingo

Once there was dingo, rabidly mad as he could be who thought he was a Bruce of a man by how he spoke But no man would call him their 'mate,' for you see... he was a mongrel dog who pretended to be a bloke The dingo who called himself 'Keefer,' was all talk-no bite got caught chasing a galah (chicken) for want of a feast. But ol' Keef got clawed by the rooster night after night He was a drongo (fool) who thought he was a beast. "Crikey!" I heard real men screaming from inside a bar when they laughed at Keef wearing daks (male trousers) He tucked his tail and ran from feathering with hot tar "Get out, ya Hoon (hooligan)! We scorn rabble-rousers! Keef was a loud mouth when he was blotto (inebriated) Downing snag (sausages) and guzzling frothy (beer). Tried to mate with a sheila (girl) but he'd been castrated. Fair dinkum (that's true). He was neutered last year. Some say he likes wearing female clothes, they swear. He's such a hostile dingo, telling them to 'Rack OFF!' But there's pictures of him in knickers (ladie's underwear). and some of him before his little stub was sawed off. I guess sometimes he gets to feeling clucky (maternal) cuz he uses phrases like 'mother this and mother that.' Looks like he'll end up some place heated and infernal Dingo Keef's punishment for hurling all those brickbats. A rabid dingo, that fool proved to be a fizzer (fizzled out) His rants and threats to beat guys up were just a joke, who was well-known as a bogan (hick) and a social lout who accepted the truth. Ol' Keefer is now socially 'woke.' Last I heard of him, he'd taken up with a mate called, Roo. Another misfit creature roaming around in the outback He played for hours each night, blowing into his digeridoo because he couldn't stand Keef's braggin' and talkin' smack. Roo felt relieved when the dingo, kinky Keefer disappeared The one who'd been called 'the blunder from down under. He'd mumbled for days about Milton Creek and Roo feared that dingbat dingo would try to tear that town asunder.

Tee hee… you sure don’t mince your words, Jenna. To this day I have no idea to whom you refer, but he/she/it sounds despicable. Love the write and the lesson in Aussie slang. Sorry I’m a tad late with POTD congrats, been absent a day or so. So belated congrats anyway. Terry

Very interesting as your many other writings are. I still remember your very interesting poem on Fig Leaf. Humorous cum satiric and ironic. Congratulations!

You have given life to 'the blunder from down under' who "tried to mate with a sheila (girl) but he'd been castrated." (sad !) A very enjoyable read. Before he could tear Milt Creek asunder, glad he is jailed by all your efforts ! Congratulations Jenna on your POTD

Thank you, Linda. The dingo threatens with calling us nasty names, but in doing so he only exposes his ugly character.

Thanks Sheriff, and I applaud your post this morning about that deviant dingo. He's probably under his rock, but he'll hear about his unwanted fame and arrest.
