A Fair Dinkum Brew Pat Little
Old Smiley was throwing a party celebrating his latest home brew. As his friends were all fair dinkum Aussies we sure were a real thirsty crew
When we all gathered at his old humpy old Smiley said " I'm telling you. You fellas just ain't tasted nuthin till you take a good swig a me brew.
After I downed a couple of schooners it seemed that old Smiley was right. Cos the damm stuff had hardly hit bottom before I was out like a light.
When I comes too an hour or so later boy did I get bleeding surprise. As I gazed at the scene there before me I couldn't believe me own eyes
There was blokes hoppin hell west and crooked as each other they tried hard to pass. There was no need for any refreshments cause the blighters were all eatin grass.
I sees me old mate Curley and calls him but he snarled " ain't you got no sense ". You know that me blinking names Skippy and he then cleared a six foot high bloody fence.
"Stone the crows mate" I says to old Smiley "there's something I need to ask you"? "I feel like I'm a jumping all over what the hell did you put in that brew".
Old Smiley stood there looking sheepish as he hung down his shaggy old head. and I thought that Id gone in the horrors when he looked up at me and he said.
"Well bein a bloke wot hates waste mate I gets this humdinger idea. They was putting the roo in the stew Blue so I puts extra " Hops " in me beer.
