Billy Bong

Outback Down Under
He rode out one day
Joined by a dingo
Who wanted to play

The dingo soon snarled
Like it would attack
The next thing he knew
It snarled with a pack

His boomerang flew
Around the whole bunch
But never hit one
They ate him for lunch

A rather sad fact
His bones lie around
No longer intact
All over the ground

Though bleached by the sun
An unpleasant scene
The Outback's great fun
When its Halloween.  

That may make you weep
And maybe lose sleep
But no one counts sheep
When bones want to creep!

Hi Rico, Loved this write. As you must have noticed I enjoy my "rhyme poems", this one is witty, a little macabre and clever. You have a certain type of writing poetry that no one else has - awesome! Yasou, Jennifer

G'day Rico ... it's the Bunyips in the billabongs that you really have to worry about, but the dingoes as you wrote will have you for lunch if you escape from the Bunyips that are so ferocious that nobody has survived that has seen one - nice take on Halloween Rico - Lindsay

I was in such a rush I neglected to type in the last verse. I noticed you had not made a submission since 04.X.18, so thought if I did a Down Under, you would think, "I can do better than that" so we would get more good stuff. Aloha! Rico
