IV. TOWN GOSSIP
5. Biggie-billa The Porcupine
"Big money racket: birds, books & aboriginals.
Like Biggie-billa the porcupine,
I thought they were called echidnas in Australia
& don't mention that Mirijula spirit dog,
the one they drew in the book,
funny lookin' thing, 'ad ears like a dachshund,
I thought it would look
like a dingo at least.
Don't mention that bullshit, when we're down fishin'.
The black fellas don't know what ya talkin' about,
if ya start talkin'
that bullshit around 'em,
they're likely to get ya down & hit ya
over the head with a bottle." |
