Flogged a Dead Horse The Dream It felt no pain pain I felt flogging works like that So I sat upside down in Australia Started to fall asleep cider I was in, knee deep A kangaroo woke me up It felt no pain as she flogged a dead man flogging works like that. Flog a Dead Horse The Reality and feel its pain that's how it works I sit upside down in Australia knee deep in cider while a kangaroo flogs me it doesn't feel my pain I'm a dead man that's how it works

Don't think I ever saw a Roo, deep in my cups, I've seen a few other things I'd like to forget. Good one Arthur...

Heh, I love both poems, they are the same, and still different. Just like the difference between dream and reality.

My mate Budgie is a real flogger too... and I bet he thinks he inspired this one! lol... But you and me know the truth. One must have Bran in the morning. Btw, all of Down Under love your work.
