Don Johnson Poet Ballade

Waltzing Sheep

Waltzing sheep 

in Waltzing Matilda he stole the sheep,
 Ba BA didn’t come so cheap. 
Cooked them lamb chops on the coals,
 Down by the bloody water holes, 
Bloody tucker heaps. (Don ends here)

Tony Lane
Then from my plate it leaps
 I knew that it’d been roasted rare, 
But this one ran off without a care. 
Now in the outback I will have to sleep, 
Because my dinner stole my Jeep.

 Oh, so now you want to follow all of the rules. OK, I'll try again. Tony

It just wont suit for traces contest hey...Don
