Gidday Blue it's Digger here
Just thought I'd drop a line
I'm on me way to Europe
And so far it's going fine

We're on that holiday at last,
It's just me and the missus
The old girl says to say gidday,
And sends some hugs and kisses

We're flying out of Tulla
On the way up to K.L.
It's bloody freezing outside here
Up there as hot as hell

Then on we go to Amsterdam
To meet up with some rellies
We'll take some pressies for the kids
Some choccys and some lollies

So we're shopping down in duty free
And I swear to god it's true
We saw a shop that's selling
Didgeridoos made from bamboo

The label says 'Designed in Oz'
And the painting looks bout right,
But bamboo in the outback?
Well I hear supply is tight....

Seems we live in multi-cultural times
As a goal there is none finer
But I think we've gone a tad too far
When didgeridoos are made in China!

It's probably a fair exhange, don't we make wind chimes in Australia

Great poem Trace and typical Aussie humour - you gotta love it - I do

Cheers

Maureen

I really enjoyed your poem. Very funny.
Wazza

There's not much not made there now, sadly. Enjoyed the poem Trace.

Thanks Heather, Waza, Maureen,

When I saw (whoops I mean when Digger saw) these didgeridoos he knew something wasn't quite right.....

Watch out for more writings of Digger's adventure abroad!

Cheers
