I'm from the Land Downunder

A land of sweeping plains …

Bugga, got distracted

Mixed-up brain again ...

 

(Now where was I ?...)

 

I'm from the Land Downunder

Where men sit home and make

Vegemite sandwiches

Of which we all partake

 

I'm sorry if I'm larrikinish

Don't know my ABC's

The Queen she would be horrified

But that's the way I be

 

Brian Maryon will know

I'm sorta kinda rough

I'm trying to rise above it

With help from R McGough

 

Some will go rhyme-shudder

And walk away (go yuk)

While all my lovely followers

Will cheer 'please run amok'

 

My mind it seems to take

Over me at times

Does some run-amoking

Creating different rhymes

 

Pull things out your mind don

And put them on your drive

Then send them down the wire

To Write-Out-Loud-Alive

 

I have a love me/hate me

Relationship with my readers

You've got a complex mind don

Just go and be it's seeder
