The Yes and No Vote

Yes I will vote No
No I will vote Yes
I will vote Yes or No
Or maybe
Maybe

Maybe Yes maybe No
Is there a Maybe vote

Perchance

I am not sure

Is there a Maybe vote
We are not sure about
The answer has to be

Yes or No

Okay all those on the Yes side
Say No I understand
And
All those on the No side
Say Yes I understand

There you go
So glad I could sort this out for everyone

Pooncarie Blowfly

Figure eights round and round
Buzzing my head with that horrible sound
Its loop the loop and hop and bound
Pooncarie blowfly not a friend I’ve found

Open the door to your little place
He rides on your back and circles your face
A menacing intrusion he makes you race
To a blowfly free more comfortable space

You grab the mortein and confront the pest
You spray him from the east and get him from the west
He goes down like a fly failing the test
Thank God you’ve laid him to rest

At Sixty Six it’s your teeth and hair

At sixty six that’s years of age
Not the route 66
Nor the sexual connection
But when you own your own teeth and hair
There’s a real chance of connection

A young woman came to me and said
Your smile gives me some relief
It appears you are a rarity
A pensioner with his own teeth

Oh Wow I said is it really that rare
Well not only that my beautiful man
She cooed
You appear to have your own hair

I asked her for motivation
That would allow her to care
For an old fart like me
Who’s
Just sitting there

You fill in all the dots she said
You look handsome and beaut
It’s a big time bonus for us girls
To meet an old fella so cute

I pondered her approach
And wondered if she was one of them
So
I put the question to her gently
Are you a rooster or a hen?

A Stolen Freddo

Aboriginal twelve years of age
With freddo
Policeman of adult age with Freddie
And it’s a standoff

Receiving stolen chocolates boy is a crime
You have shown evil intent
Never mind the drug runners
The murderers
The rapists
You are a lolly thief a serious criminal lad

Government money is well spent ridding the world of your type
Fancy the world should run out of choccy frogs

You are black and guilty
As usual

And
You guessed it you made the news for this heinous crime

You received a stolen chocolate frog
You endangered the supply
To all kids

But worse than that you are a black kid
No right to be human
No right to steal lollies like the white kids

Twenty years or death row
It depends

Was freddo recovered or did you eat it

Say goodbye to your liberty boy
You have shown evil intent
Murderers will walk
Rapists will do it again
Drug runners will thrive

You are in serious trouble

Those bloody fish (1971)

Those fish they are cunning,
They’re never where I angle,
All day long upon this bank,
A flamin’ worm I dangle.

Change the bait light up a smoke,
Oh, what’s the bloody use?
The longer and longer I sit here,
I’m just takin’ more abuse.

I ponder the use of dynamite,
To help my desperate whim,
One or two sticks is all it needs,
None of them will swim.

If I dip my worms in whiskey,
Ah’ what the heck,
Perhaps it’ll give them strength,
To grab the fish by the neck.

How long can I go on?
Before I catch a fish,
On the river bank with nothing,
But an empty bloody dish.

The Budgie Ron

The Budge is green and ugly,
Banged his head in flight,
Caused a big lump to form there,
Not a pretty sight.

Flits around the house all day,
In fact he flits and shits,
Does’nt have a purpose much,
But we all love the bugger to bits.

He’s the craziest bird for sure,
Certainly no Australian icon,
Just a little green budgerigar,
That’s the Budgie we named Ron.

Tried to train him to say a word,
Well you would’nt want to know,
When the Budgie tries to speak now,
He sounds more like a crow.

Out in the back yard,
In the security of his cage,
He spruiks all sorts of bird lingo,
And gets the blackbirds in a rage.

Budgie Ron is poor of manners,
But we think that’s swell,
Cause he’s typically mad ya’ see,
And fits in here,quite well.

Good Neighbours

Can I borrow a tool he asks?
As he looks around my shed,
I’ll bring it back tomorrow,
Providing I’m not dead.

Yesterday he borrowed it,
And today is almost tomorrow,
He’ll bring it back I know he will,
I’m sure he said just borrow.

Here he comes he’s got my tool,
Its only three days late,
But I could never yell at him,
Cos’ he just called me his mate.

Nippon Karaoke

Nippon the mighty king of karaoke,
Could sing a splendid tune,
He knew almost every song,
This Nippon boy could croon.

He could smell a song or ballad,
From his dunny or his car,
And when the pubs held karaoke,
The Nippon never was too far.

He loved to do his Elvis,
And he did it such a treat,
Until he got half pissed ya’ see,
Then he always missed the beat.

But nothin’ stops a winner,
And the winner mumbled his song,
The big bad Nippon Karaoke,
Would continue right or wrong.

With the crowd gettin’ edgy,
Nippon tried to crack a joke,
But went head over turkey,
And landed on some bloke.

Hello sailor the nice bloke said,
I’m glad you fell for me,
Let’s do a duet tonight,
I’m feeling rather free.

Well Nippon Karaoke,
Went red and shades of hue,
And blushed just a little bit,
He didn’t quite know what to do.

Anyway Nippon said,
What song would we sing?
And Nippon’s new found sailor friend,
Said, what about some Bing.

I’ll try anything once, he said,
So the boys they hit the boards,
But Nippon didn’t know the words,
So he just hummed the chords.

Eventually the lights went down,
The music began to slow,
But Nippon Karaoke,
Just didn’t want to’ know.

Times up the publican said,
I want ya’s out of ere’
And Nippon and his sailor friend sang,
The pub’s got no flamin’ beer.

My Malvern Star

I’m so happy,
I think I could fly,
But I’m riding a bike,
So I don’t know why.

I don’t do drugs,
So I’m not in a dream,
But why do I feel,
I can fly this machine.

Now here I go,
Way down a big hill,
Can I get airborne,
Well I’ve got the will.

How strange is this,
Trying to fly a bike,
In the middle of Melbourne,
A feeling I like.

You would all have to say,
This man’s gone too far,
But you need’nt worry,
It’s my new malvern star.
