Grey Clumper

Grey clumper Our old grey clumper horse, bit by brown snake, bad egg, The horse stood on him, snake struck a leg, Grey had him pinned, stomped snake to death, Both died, horse fell on the snake inept, (clumpers are half draught horses, we wept) Snake hunting, bull terrier cattle dogs, (cattle dogs eat snakeys brown) Pull down humans goats n frogs, ***** Damper tore a brownies togs, (hide) She lay there in the water sick, Old man trimmed, the poison bite off *****, Pinched up the poison, shears in hand, Cut the poison hide to which, Condys crystal poison fix, And she was back a hunting, Death adder one foot long, Death trap, touch him, death belong, Never see him neath the leaves, Chicken wire, fence out, him weaves, Step on him, you are gone! It’s a deadly poison, nong. (dummie)

Wow, that sounds a bit dangerous there Don! You wouldn't EVER find me out there with snakes...I really hate three animals in nature...Spiders, Scorpions, and of course Snakes...the deadly 3 S's!! I hate them all!! But I loved your poem about snakes, though it did freak me out a bit...ha, ha! Great work!!
