Two little dudes from the George-street block,
Up for a brief vacation!
One little girl in a neat print frock,
Maid of the Mulga Station!
Two little dudes with walking-sticks,
Two little heads that the collars fix!
Two little hats at nine-and-six,
Two little dudes on a station.
One little maid with a bashful smile,
Given for a salutation;
Two little dudes of the nan-nan style,
Bent on a captivation.
One little maid with a smile so true,
Curly hair of a nut-brown hue;
Eyes of a liquid violet blue,
One little maid on a station.
“Didn’t she fear her walks to take
Over the grassy clearing?”
“Didn’t she fear some nasty snake
His ugly head a-rearing?”
“Sirs,” she said, with an arching brow,
And a smile that was hardly a smile somehow,
“There are so many jackasses ‘round here now,
That the snakes are disappearing!”

excllent,funny,clever,great rhyme
This was a wonderful poem. It was very funny and a very nice read for the early evening. Thanks Unbridled ! for this new step up at AP. I'll be back when I have more time to investigate all you have step up here to do. Looks very challenging and interesting with just a quick glancing about. God Bless
Afraid I wrote at least 4 dz. reads. i must get those done! Thanks. The poem really created very clever clear menatal images. i liked the twist of snakes and horsesasses (which I believed to be men of that time?)
