OUTBACK SPIRIT

 

                              OUTBACK SPIRIT

 

                   SLOUCH HAT, DUNGAREES, RM’S.

 

Depict deplorable drought ridden farm,

 

 putrid dehydrated dead sheep, fatally calm,

 

 once curly, cuddly, lambs fly blown from dawn,

 

 steps over carcasses, suddenly, scratches his groin.

 

 Bloody hell!

 

 Maggots?

 

 Abruptly awakes, sweating, such a lucid dream,

 

 in bed, beloved bride fondles, eyes wanton gleam.
