You Will Die...! Poem by Geoffrey Fafard

You Will Die...!

Rating: 5.0


Look hard for what you cannot see
For it is there truly-Beautifully dangerous

In this land of Oz

Deadly Oxyuranus
Don't pick up with kitchen tongs
You will die, , ,

Silent Chironex flickeri
Don't swim with in ocean blue
You will die, , ,

Smiling Crocodylus porosus
Don't Converse on subjects long or
You will die, , ,

Swelling Rhipicphilus
Blood lust shows when you stroll
You will die, , ,

All black and red Therididae
Somewhere under the toilet seat
You will die, , ,

White giant Carcharodon carcharias
He has a appetite for you
You will die, , , ,

And thats just a few of the gang
Some of the children of the wild
But let ye not be frightened for
They are all dwellers from down under
And God and I would not be without them
In this ancient and great land, , ,

1… Taipan
2…Box jellyfish
3…Estuarine Crocodile
4…Scrub/Cattle tick
5… Redback Spider
6…Great White Shark

Hi Geoffrey, this gang would not fit into any come to Australia campaigns. It was the comment that had me pondering, the bus stop fear, bus stops in general are strange places.

You are right John about the tourist angle... the bus stop ref. simply shows the broad comparison of fear for human bred problems. Horrifically busy roads, muggings, human dramas affect me more than all the wild critters put together. Thanks for your valued comment my friend..Geoffrey.
