Outback Australia Customer Service
OUTBACK AUSTRALIA CUSTOMER SERVICE
Tis the aussie outback,
a cocky walks a dusty shearing track,
to the only crackling phone for miles around,
climbing an old dead tractor for best sound,
bout a sheep disorder from an online order.
"Gudday customer service mate"
Farmer White's gravel voice in wait.
"Ullo, you speak Ubee Wong best sheep in Hong Kong",
an Asian voice sung like a song.
"Bought online a ewe, state true blue, but not true"
"Stamped made in China, not for down unda"
"Not stamped on crate but sheep tail gate"
farmer White did state.
"Transfer you to Long, who ewe belong"
ending a Wong call to Hong Kong.
This is Farmer White in Australia, are you Long in China ?"
"All life in China, how I help White in Australia?"
was the Long question.
"I called the Wong number in Hong Kong, and told me,
speak to Long"
claimed farmer White.
"I don't know White or Wong in Hong Kong"
was the Long reply.
"I have ewe in Australia, that is Long n Wong"
farmer White strongly said to Long.
"You Wong, am not in Australia but China,
and you White in Australia,
then say called Wong number, then no problem"
with a Long closing call.
Farmer White still with shaking head in his homestead,
looking at his ewe, and the computer he threw,
then speaking to his sheep,
eyes long and deep,
"Online there will never be another ewe"
