Aussie Blue Heeler

Aussie Blue Heeler
Seen em strike, brown snakey  type,
When cattle dogs are near,
Seen the bite cut off the hide, 
With bloody sheep shearing shears.
Saved dogs life?

Seen brown snakes pulled from logs,
hunting cattle dog, blue heelers,
Seen dogs eating brown snakes, alive,
Scales n all, Blue demon dealer.

Blue heeler used to get the Scrubber,     (wild cattle)
Back in the bloody herd,
The runner got nipped on his heels,
Therein blue heeler word.

Religious types came to me ,
The blue dogs intercepted,
Snapping at their heels they were,
left , without a blessing.

Snarling guard dog he will bite,
Right about your heel,
Faithful watchful a delight,
And then your heart he’ll steal.

I thinkyou must know so many things about living in the country. What a life you have got to look back on, Don! "Goodnight, one more comment for another friend and I am OUTTA here.
