The Great Aussie Picnic

The Mozzies are biting, we forgot the Aeroguard The ants, all the bickies are about to bombard The twins are fightin’ and actin’ real mean This family picnic, it’s a real bloody scene The baby’s cryin’ ‘cause he bashed both ‘is knees The flies in the marg, and the dogs got the cheese Grans gone walkabout lookin’ for the lav Cripes, there’s a Kookaburra, poopin’ on the pav! Young Curly’s so famished, he’s eatin’ mud pies And bluey’s being chased by some peckin’ magpies Dav’s bashin’ his missus and actin’ like a lout She forgot the plonk and the beers run out Old gramps at the barbie burnin’ the snags Dad’s really cussin’ ‘cause Mum’s snitched his fags Now the tuckers ready as the rain in buckets pours Streuth! Another get together in the great outdoors!

Lizzie quite a picnic here. Sounds a day to tucker a saint. A bit of fun and enjoyed the read. This type of picnic is pretty much international. TLee
