MUSINGS OF A POMMY MIGRANT I love my boat, she's good for me She takes me out across the sea To places I've not seen before Majestic dunes and golden shore The bays, the creeks, I love to roam Since first I called Australia home A crowded beach, that's not for me For I prefer tranquillity The dugong, turtle, mighty whale They fill my thoughts when first I sail From ramp, to beacon, then out of sight Into the beauty of first light Far from worries, care and woe To beauteous sights, I now do go The mangrove trees, the soldier crab Who moves across the mud so drab But even “drab" is beautiful If viewed through eyes that are not dull So what about the mortgage rate? So what about the bill paid late? So what about the price of fuel? So what about the hosepipe rule? So what about the strife torn world And all the insults that are hurled? By *pollies who simply fail to see How many more are just like me Who simply like the finer things That this Lucky Country brings The buzzards call, the eagle's cry Gliding gracefully 'cross the sky The sparkling sea, the glistening sand The sunrise spreading 'cross the land The mighty cliffs, the breaker's roar The wash retreating from the shore The heron's stalk, the plovers walk These the things of which I talk To children who are filled with awe Of all these things and many more All these things I hold quite dear When seen through eyes that are now clear From mist of toil and haze of war And all that has been gone before By men who know not what I know Of wonderment and nature's glow I love my boat she's good to me But more than this, I plainly see It wasn't her that gave to me It was Australia, don't you see? *Pollies - Politicians LINKS & THINGS OF INTEREST TO ME, THAT MAY INTEREST YOU: Living In Australia Department of Immigration.
