a bronzed aussie bloke

for “The Stumble And Rise” Poetry Contest-Sponsored by: Jami Patterson
------
there once was a bronzed aussie bloke
drank way too much bundy and coke
danced with the beating drum
then fell hard on his bum
laughed as he said "I'm such a joke"

* bundy is short for Bundaberg rum-usually drunk with coke and is a very popular drink in Australia
