My Geat Adventure

My great adventure At the ripe old age of six, I went With my two young brothers Aboard the mighty ship, Mooltan We went on a big adventure To a land called West Australia My parents bought the tickets How excited we all were To be going across the ocean. We boarded ship in London town Oh, what a great adventure. The docks were called the Tilbury docks Oh, what a sight we saw We were so awed by this mighty ship The excitement filled our souls We went aboard all filled with joy And our adventure had begun We left old Blighty far behind Went on our merry way Life was great aboard this ship We played to our hearts content. Oh lord we sailed through so many countries Our little hearts aglow Shopping from the old bum boats Oh boy it was such fun Oh how I loved this ocean air It made me feel alive Eventually after five long weeks Ahead we spied the coastline ‘So this was it’ my young mind said West Australia was in sight. Oh, what a lovely sight it was My heart it really danced To see those vast, white sandy beaches It gave me such delight We were so excited, us three Our knew life was beginning And oh it had been quite a trip I always will recall These days until the day I die It was so beautiful.
