A short piece in the saga of Outback (Bindii) Jack

dancin’ down the Darlin’ - -


Did ya see the rain’s been fallin’
out near the back o’ Bourke
that’s where Outback Jack is livin’
now ‘e doesn’t work.

He’s retired in a village
somewhere in the town
where the lack of rain’s
been makin’ - everybody frown.

I saw it dancin’ down the Darling
last night on TV,
a lady just near Budda
thought it might reach her knee.

It was still an early trickle,
but flowin’ fairly fast,
she had a paddle in it
as it went wanderin’ past,
makin’ for the Murray
which might allow those Silver Perch
to swim upstream to Jack’s place
so ‘e wont ‘ave to search.

Initial Webwalk using Apple iMac

Following set up with planet Pre-paid - registering with Apple and Epson, making numerous password errors, editing the existing gmail account which I thought may well have been cancelled after such a long time, now at blogger - time is 12.02am.
