Warren Mbaht Poet Ballad

Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Min Min Light - the Unexplained

On the Outback Downs of Queensland
There is the strangest light
I have seen it first hand
And it sure gave me a fright

I was camped out while Lamb Marking
On the Downs out Corfield way
Hot days with sheep dogs barking
We sure did earn our pay

On one eve when days work done
We sat around a fire
Telling yarns, let our tongues run
Leant back against the wire

As I looked out in the distance
The night was black as pitch
A light with some insistence
Gave my interest an itch

I knew that there was nothing there
Only us for miles around
What was this light, gave us a scare
Some six feet from the ground

I got up, had another look
I called for volunteers
Let's go take a butchers hook
But all I got was jeers

I walked away out to the side
Until it disappeared
We still see it here they cried
Now that was pretty weird

So make your own mind up about
That Queensland Min Min light
I can say there is no doubt
Was on the Downs that night
