Basically Me

I’ve been a techie and a miner

a live-wire linesman too

sold real estate and biscuits

played jazz east at the ‘Loo’

Played baseball with the Pirates

from the mound and on the bags

with Deejay and the Archer

and several other wags

Fired a mortar and a bren gun

at an enemy unseen

was guard of honour at North Terrace

for our coroneted queen

Been a sailor, done some gliding

toured Australia in a camper

climbed the ‘Rock,’ saw the Olgas

and learned to cook a damper

Lived in boughsheds at the Tennant

slept in swanky Gold Coast doss

the Regent down in Sydney town

casinos and the ‘Cross’

Done up half a dozen houses

from Beaumont to Cairns and back

made soft drinks in the ‘Alice’

and I’m never going back

I’ve cruised the South Pacific

in the lap of luxury

to Tonga and Noumea

sipping kava and iced tea

Went dancing with the damsels

at the Haven and the Oak

and ended up on Mondays

as a somewhat seedy bloke

Done a host of other crazy th
