Aussie Bush Verse
LIFE and LIVING
What’s life all about, we at times do wonder
Thinking about it makes me want to chunder.
Is it wealth and position or is that just for some
If that’s all to life, you must be plain dumb.
Health and happiness to some it is lost
Especially those who sleep outside in a frost.
When we are babies we can not fend for ourselves
After retirement we may as well all be shelved.
Between birth and death most have many days
Why not enjoy them because it sure pays.
Life is a ball, an experience and time for learning
A time to rethink, reminisce and if one has a yearning
It could last a lifetime or maybe a year
When it does eventuate you will give a cheer.
Life can be happy at times can be sad,
Life is what you make it and is not all bad.
Life can be carefree, relaxing or quiet
Life can be hectic, rewarding if you see the light.
Some they do mess up with drugs and booze
It’s them who miss out, they will all lose.
All are born equal and all can gain much
Life can be full if you keep in touch.
The air that we breathe, the food that we eat
All part of life’s treasures, Oh what a treat
At work at the footy or dangling a line
Life goes on and on and on till it’s time.
Time to lie down, when one goes long rest
Life after all put you through the test.
