MY LIMERICKS

AND ENJOY!

 

THERE IS AN ISLAND NORTH OF QUEENSLAND...

THERE IS AN ISLAND NORTH OF QUEENSLAND,

FROM THE WORLD SO FAR AWAY,

NATIVE CHILDREN PLAY ON BEACHES,

LAUGHING IN THE FOAMING SPRAY.

UNDER PALM TREES, IN THE WATERS,

PEOPLE GATHER FOOD AND STAY,

EATING, CHATTING, ALL TOGETHER,

WITH CIVIL’SATION FAR AWAY.

IN THEIR WORLD, SO QUAINT AND CARING,

ALL-SUSTAINING IN ITS WAY

AND THEIR ELDERS WITH THEIR DREAMING,

THEIR OWN TRADITION, IS THEIR WAY.

PASSED ALONG THROUGH GENERATIONS,

ALL THEIR WISDOM IN THEIR SAY,

WHO WANTS A CULTURE THAT’S SO ALIEN,

AND LIVING IN ANOTHER WAY?

KEEP YOUR RUGGED WORLD, YOU WHITE MAN,

FAR AWAY FROM US YOU STAY,

DO NOT ENCROACH, REMAIN IN DISTANCE,

LET US LIVE LIFE IN OUR WAY!

ANOTHER LIMERICK.....

In the army I get woken up early,

By a sergeant so big and so burly,

‘That cannot be right!’

With eyes far from bright

‘What’s the time?’ I ask rather surly.
