ONLY IN AUSTRALIA
The cattle grazed on stubble, masticating in the sun
when from on high a very ugly bird,
winged it’s way straight for them as they bellowed their distress –
though unbelievable, I swear to every word!
It swooped just like a maggie, steeply climbed to dive again,
it buzzed their curly heads within a hair.
Ignoring spatial boundaries it split the herd in two,
sending half into a truck awaiting there.
As one they bawled for help to come and tell them what was up,
with Bruce the bull the first one to respond,
he’d come from where ‘new fangled’ reigned, and with a haughty air,
he laughed and told them all that they’d been conned.
He told them that the ugly and repulsive screeching bird
had sent his last mob crazy from distress.
All day it swooped and teased them, it would even fly by night –
how he survived was anybody’s guess!
Such denigration of a noble breed like Hereford
Is something that a cow cannot condone,
Our Betsy hung her head in shame when she remembered the
embarrassment of Muster by a Drone!
