18. OUTBACK HOSPITALITY
a. Emmdale On Barrier Hwy From Cobar To Wilcannia
an authentic emmdale stop over,
the cafeteria boasts the emmdale bullock team and the old emmdale cricket pitch,
the remains of which can still be seen today,
ice cream with apple pie?, no thanks, huh? everybody else does,
(draw in five suspicious sets of eyes) some soggy fags & dusty hats,
emmdale stop over,
silly question/ silly answer
Q. when do the kangaroos move across the road at night?
A. when you least expect it,
emmdale stop over,
kangaroos were waiting on the sides of the roads between the paddocks and the fences,
as soon as night falls, as soon as the sun sets they go on the hop,
the message is passed along down the road and it happens as soon as that sun sets,
way out past the emmdale stop over, all along the state borders,
australians have an important job to do:
DEFEND YOUR COUNTRY, BE A FRUIT FLY FIGHTER
they speak using full sentences, without the use nick names, when you least expect it,
emmdale stop over,
dense kangaroos, a bit thick, sitting on the sides of the roads,
at emmdale roadhouse, a few blokes with more than a few loose in the top paddock,
when will they move? when you least expect it,
emmdale stop over,

emmdale stop over,
nanna's apple pie, me nanna cooked it,
the tourist asked;
what's the fish today? I and J Hake.
emmdale stop over,
the workings of the outback mind;
eyes: on the load on the eh holden station wagon roofrack,
eyes go to tarp, surround space of tarp,
electrical current runs from sight back to brain,
runs from brain back to mouth,
mouth speaks, wait for it, 'she's got a bit of a load on the old girl,'
thing is, at least they say exactly what's on their minds,
that being, my car is a girl,
emmdale stopover,
we're okay, some sayin' in-bred, looks like the wind blew their faces in all directions |
