For My Mate

For my mate

You added your bit to the show
A joke a story or a place to go
Standing next to the barbie or keg
Serving the snags or  beer you had us pegged

Always the last to leave  no waste allowed
And you knew all the nicknames being so proud
With the reasons for each name made
For shows or border incidents  you did not fade

So now it’s your day again
For us to say see ya later friend
And here’s cheers in beer for you
When at the bar I’ll have one for you too.
