Don Johnson Poet Rhyme

Bore Drain Tucker

Bore drain tucker   (stock water channel, cross country from an Artesian bore)

Waiting for a feed on the old bore drain,   
Maybe, might not ever rain?
Have me 4 gallon tin full of holes,
To let ole shrimp in,
Or crayfish sweet n old.

Bit of old meat, tied in the tin,
Come on lobby, just jump in,
Reef her out, quickly now,
Shrinps n lobbys tucker, chow.

Put another can on the fire,
Boil em up now, Jeeves esquire,
Sitting on a termite mound,
Sucking scoffing shrimpy down,   (like prawns)
Aussie boil here on the ground:
