I Am Bloke

I Am Bloke... I am bloke you see that I happen to be, from Terra Australis land, and who likes to write about the many things I’ve found, that it is of the bush, the scrub, and other places be. however, it is most of all are the animals that interest to me, who creep and crawl about inhabiting our land, and in the course of my days I’ve found; bush turkeys: make a bloody mess, wombats: are cute, in their burrowing ways, kangaroos: like to bound about regardless, red bellied black: highly venomous bloke, echidnas: are prickly folk at their best, goannas: simply like to run up trees, daddy-long-legs are really and truly scary hairy beasts, platypus and platypi are not really seen by many folks, kookaburras: like to sit on boughs of olde gum trees and laugh their silly heads off, cane toads: squishy, squashy are best left dead under feet, great white sharks: need to stay in ponds; but for me on the other hand, there are many others I could write about, who play their part and make the Australian landscape as the only one of its kind, and for this I’m proud to be, a blokey bloke, a bush balladeer, and a poet from the land ‘down under.’ Francis Cooper - Mac
