Listen to poem:

Life In Oz

Life in Oz
by Robert (Bob) Moore © 2015

Over 50 years I’ve been out here
don’t like the heat, and snakes I fear
red back spiders, and the funnel web
if they bite you, you could be dead

Don’t like vegemite on my toast
get in the sun, and I would roast
down at the beach is not for me
don’t know what I’d do if a shark I’d see

like air conditioning, and a cup of tea
if it hot outside, inside I’ll be 
the mozzies they still bite me bad
guess in my heart, I’m a Gorton Lad.
