Notes About The Poem

entered when the toilet roll is almost empty sponsored by sandra kendrick

Where's the Dunny Paper ?????

They created a scamdemic
what a filthy nasty lie
Then they lined 'em up to get the jab
or else you're gonna die

Side affects are bodily
but there is another scam
Shortages of dunny paper
create a traffic jam

One would have thought that food 
would be the major focus
But no the human race
has lost all form of locus

So me I'm running where
the vegetation's lush
Not so hard to find some green 
when I'm caught short in the bush

But where the growth of trees and plants
are often rather sparse
Hard to find material
on which to wipe my ass

I stand in awe whilst I do watch
the rush for toilet paper
Don't they realise it's all part of a 
dirty criminal caper

There are places I have utilised
to aid my body function
No doubt I would have spread some seed 
I do it without unction

Garden shrubs on city streets 
provide a hiding spot
Luckily I've not been caught
they'd think it;s ME!!!! who's lost the plot

Sometimes I've utilised a culvert 
number one or two
You've gotta take whatever's
when you're busting for a poo

And when there's need to clean one's self
whilst running in the scrub
Smooth stones or straight sticks I've often used
why don't you join the club

Footnote: A stern warning from an old bushie 
who has spent years around a camp fire with a billy of tea
NEVER STIR YOUR TEA WITH A STRAIGHT STICK1111
