Short Cobber Poems

I heard it in the evening
As I vetted reports in the office
The sun was waning
And the air was cool

A friend of his came in to say
You had died from your own hand
The life you led as a copper had done you in
And I am left to wonder now how it happened.

Such a compact meal
To an Aussie the real deal
Square, round or oval be in it
Just add sauce and don’t let it drip

Eat the corner and suck it in
The gravy and meat delicious then
And once you’ve mastered this you’ll say
Cooee cobber it’s on your menu always.

WALK THEN FALL
                                       By James Edward Lee

                    Walk these cobber stone paths of unrighteousness alone
                  I stumble trip I fall all onto the diverse grounds covered up
                with the dust, gravel, concrete, and dirt that surrounds us all...

Robert, 
oh dear you have me laughing here,
 might choke on this corn sack, 
the dog will want it back i fear, 
and his name is Bungeye Jack, 
It was a 2 dog in the bed last night, (cold) 
though spring has sprung right here,
 wants tea n toast me appetite, 
bit early for a beer.

Ben is Australian, a BBQ king,
Burning and scorching meat is just his thing.

He came from Aus some years ago, and met his own lovely English rose.

He still has an accent, but has learnt to call his friends mate, instead of just cobber,
He loves fly fishing because you carry less clobber.

Ben's prefect day would be to catch a trout,
Then BBQ it and share it about...

The old cold war bird still is on guard,
though the Ruskys aint a threat,
they must have built em strong and hard,
those eagles, some of the best,
guys said the ground would jump an jive,
with the bombs a landing crunch,
Aussies in Vietnam,
thought highly of this bunch,
Sounds like the old DC3, still a flying some,
Biscuit bombers Kokoda saw,   
when world war 2 was won. 

B52s good one cobber Bob..

helps a poet with his demands,
two brains to understand,
imagination grand,

darkness parts the sparkkk...

R,
catch the bugger by the ears,
get a grip, no slipping fears,
tell the bugger it's alright,
slap him down, come out to fight,
put depression in it's box,
take control of goldilocks,
put the bitch, where she should be,
controlled by mind, just mentally,
words are short, but it will do,
get control of your choo choo,
or you're on the rocks...

on ya cobber...
