old spaghetti westerns
and john wayne flics
what better way to spend
saturday afternoons
weekly shoot 'em ups
where at the end
cowboys and their horses
ride toward a dusty sunset

Swinging Goat
Goat a swinging in the thunderbox, (outside toilet)
in the dunny like a bagged ox,
Kids come home from the flics ol mate, (movies)
Bowels ready to operate,
Jerk open door, what a shock!
Ghost a lurching, creaking, bloody what!
Smell is just so bitter sour,
pants aint filled with sweetness, flowers,
Forget me nots?
Says johnson's frat, grot…. F…rat grumpy tot
Police arrive an take away,
Goat-nap father, (thief)
Next doors hey, (neighbour)
Chops 4 brekky we aint got, (breakfast)
Coppers eating every chop,
Justice revealed in thunderbox,
In its way, food wasting not…
