By The Side of the RoadI lie dead and broken and crushed by the road
and the crows make a meal of my eyes

there's no one who mourns me or cries
And all who pass by are repulsed by...Read More

Observations From a Messmate StumpHere I sit on the stump, of a dead messmate gum,
where house-keeping is poor, for the cleansed human mind;
the dead is not buried, so the living survive.
I see the fine balance, in a world that’s unkind.
There is always the devil,...Read More

A winter Wombats taleOne time wombat shudders. It was very cold today and a kilt, cape, and long length knitted cloak just was not providing sufficient heat. Must buy some socks he thought. Then wandering around he found out the mouse shop was...Read More

It's a very boring dayToday is a very boring day,
There is nothing good to do,
I went crushing through the toilet door and
landed in the loo,
There's a cobra nesting in my pants,
and a wombat on my head,
There's a walrus flopping here and there,

Walking Through The RainforestWalking through the rainforest
Koala in a tree
Mr.Hungry Dingo
Staring at me
Living in Australia
Happy as can be
Sunburnt country is the best
I'm sure you will agree
Many native species
Australia is their home
Couldn't be anywhere else
As says this Aussie poem
Platypus in the river

The BillabongThere’s an old river course with beginning and end,
now the river runs straight without this river bend,
where the water is still and the reeds do grow strong.
New life has taken over in a billabong.
The mat rush is spreading replacing the...Read More

Billycan CreekWhen I get tired of the concrete and tar
there’s a place I can go, and not travel far,
that hasn’t been touched by progress at all;
nature stands still beneath gums growing tall.
And in amongst shadows with sprinkled light,
there’s rippling water and...Read More

MY PET WOMBATPat, pat, pat,
He's my wombat,
Wee Winky is his name,
Pat, pat, pat,
Wee Winky sat,
He really is quite tame.
Stroke, stroke, stroke,
He's just awoke,
Winky's such a sleepy head,
Stroke, stroke, stroke,
He's a hairy bloke,
A burrow is his bed....Read More

The Wombat
Where mountains rise and forests grow
the slow wombat digs his home.
It lives in fear of foes and those
who deride its shape and gait.
It roams the land, where green abounds,
when full darkness falls around.

Victory to the PreyWhere a dingo, with crushed skull, lies,
a stout round creature backs up
from the entrance of his burrow.
His sturdy rump has saved him,
and his worst enemy has been
rear-ended by a wombat!

Captured by the CreekLike a drug of dependence, this will keep me coming back
out along the Sardine Creek, walking on a wombat track.
I should know every cranny and hurdle in the way,
But secrets of the bush keep arising every day.
I am captured by...Read More

An Outback Christmas
Excitement filled the bushland as December was near
Every creature had been waiting for Christmas time - all year.
Wallabies hung their stockings on a gumtree branch with care
Just as all nice children do – everywhere.
Meanwhile those more up to date...Read More

The Ballad of Stinking MickThe Ballad of Stinking Mick
Now Mick hung close to a Butt verbose,
And the cheese it ran like treacle,
Some said it was on the bloody nose,
That he lived, was thought unbelievable,
For he was a hairy Wombat Louse,
Hitchhiking on a vehicle,
He tried...Read More

Stuck in the membraneHere my guttural wombat cry
I'm envisioning a life without you...
This ridiculous school bus pandering-
Let the mafia emerge from underground
Shell the streets down
To choke this gasoline vibe
What were you hoping this time around?
Let the karma ferris wheel fly off the boardwalk
And...Read More
