Ally Barnett

My darling sweet Kev, I truly adore
I love you so much, I couldn’t love you more
You are my lover, my life, and we’re also best friends
And our hearts will entwine ‘till their beating ends
...

While talking to a Sheila in the local bushman’s pub
I told her of my tale about this place out the scrub
Where a big black snake near bit me, it was huge I take an oath!
It came up to my campfire from within the under growth.
...

You always wonder if I’m ok
And I think of you both at least once a day
I remember when I was very small
Dad made me squeeze that tennis ball!
...

I never really met you but these feelings just won’t shake
I know you were a gentleman who’d give and never take
Born in Cootamundra, the year 1908
Your life almost an open book, your destiny, a date
...

I’ve been around for quite some time yeah seen a thing or two

Rubbed noses with this Dingo pup and hugged a Kangaroo
...

I felt such pain from so far away
When our big brother U.S. was hit that day
Nothing I could do or say
Just sit tight ‘Down Under’ with hope, as I pray
...

I watched those tall twin towers
Just dropp before my eyes
The vengeful suicide bombers
Had taken to the skies
