The ants jump
from the ground
on to your leg
talking birds
swoop down
from trees
ask their questions
save me they say
flies work hard
getting to know you
a lizard long as your arm
is running up close
what's the fucking point
hoons are everywhere
you're a bastard
when you're young
not much chance
you'll be pitied
laughed at
& cleaned up
when you're old
my Australia
flies work hard getting to know you... !!
