Boohoo is bidding for Boo-Boo
But Yogi’s not seeking a deal,
He’s scanning the park for a picnic
Looking forward to his evening meal.

BURLAP and SATIN

Like harden tree sap
Rough is the burlap!!!
That's at my finger tips

so he chewed on some
burnt Damper,
and drank some...

Who enjoys the sacking, he just smiles

Who was it fixed the hospitals,

Queensland hero

Vain-glorious, evil too,
Little Hitler is it you,
Sacking thousands for a lie,
Poor as Spain is his cry,

Our lives can take so many turns
And some quite unexpected,
But one thing everybody learns
Is that we're not protected

Still of weeping rank
At Blood Bank
And a Monster to tackle
In Transfusion circle;
Donors to save their pints
Or get ready to be clients
For the fiercest legal battle
