Life Check
Know you’re alive
Oh you know you’re alive!
In a punch up mate,
And you duck ,
as he swings at you,
Straight left does get,
you out of strife,
right cross for him will do.
(your shout George.....after a punchup)
You saddle a nark ,
of a horse so sweet,
till on his back you get,
drops his head ,
bucks n roots ,
thrown from the saddle Fred.
So you sit behind the saddle then,
while he pigroots, pigroots, too.
And you try to climb a climbing back,
a bouncing back, into the saddle too.
But he rears and tips you off old mate,
and you’re a picking up your hat.
A smug look on the brumby horse,
A saying “what do you think of that!” :)
