On An Outback Plain

On an outback plain where big Roos were few A gang went riding their Harley’s Their plan was to stop at the pub for a brew So they headed at top speed for Charley’s It wasn’t too long as they sped along that a Big Red hopped out of nowhere that was the moment that things went wrong and started this sorry affair After the first Harley hit the Roo they ended up in a spinning heap - until someone had a silly notion of what to do I’m certain they meant no ill will. They decided - for a novel photo op They would dress the dead roo in leather. They propped him up beside a large rock In a biker’s jacket and helmet Laughing and joking and dressing and poking They stood beside him to pose. When all of a sudden and I am not joking The dead carcass took off with the clothes. The tragedy was the jacket was new and the bloody thing was expensive But it gets a great laugh when he’s having a brew Still, it took a long time to make sense of.
