The sunburnt ---- stockman stood And, in a dismal ---- mood, Apostrophized his ---- cuddy; "The ---- nag's no ---- good, He couldn't earn his ---- food - A regular ---- brumby, ----!"
He jumped across the ---- horse And cantered off, of ---- course! The roads were bad and ---- muddy; Said he, "Well, spare me ---- days The ---- Government's ---- ways Are screamin' ---- funny, ----!"
He rode up hill, down ---- dale, The wind it blew a ---- gale, The creek was high and ---- floody. Said he, "The ---- horse must swim, The same for ---- me and him, Is something ---- sickenin', ----!"
He plunged into the ---- creek, The ---- horse was ---- weak, The stockman's face a ---- study! And though the ---- horse was drowned The ---- rider reached the ground Ejaculating, "----!" "----!"
This poem was originally published under the title "----!" (The Great Australian Adjective). C.J. Dennis borrowed the style for his poem 'The Australaise.'
