Think you may have been an Aussie Joe,
last time on the planet, south,
probably fought in some British war,
till yer chips were cashiered out,
used ol .303 enfield, no bloody doubt,
but life n death, was turn about,
but nothings bloody sure,
perhaps amongst the Boer,
did ya lifeblood here run out....
Don Johnson
