ow much didya get? old bluey called in
through the rainstreaked window in snoreful a haze
it rained me a treat and it filled up me tin
and it ain’t done that for plenty a days
the only moisture of recent was seen
a dew and a sweat and a puddle of tears
but down she came in buckets umpteen
like she had to repay those calamitous years
now for the cows we can lay down some hay
and rouse up some pay to stay out of the red
yeah but ow much didya get? now bluey dismayed
the kettle’s on blue! as we lied outa bed
well his glued on hat came off his shy head
and we each had a cup of talkative tea
boasting full grit of the good times ahead
the edges and brinks where we’d most likely be
I took an old fence out yesterdy blue
ya know those old posts that we cut in our prime
would no longer hold the gate fro or to
but it held the rain gauge for a measurable time
I was claspin the rain gauge in me hand blue
as the two old rustridden screws popped out
when suddenly my wife appeared in the hue
hands waving to herald a half decent shout
a sheep’s got in with the calves in the truck!
she screamed I drops me expendable tools
and ran to help get the bloody thing off
farms have the strictest emergency rules
yeah but how many millilitres! gunna tell me or not?
ya mustna got much! bluey now in a rage
in me rush blue the shed was as far as I got
high and dry as its wont on the bench …. sits the gauge
