Up up and away

The Poms from Swanny River














(with apologies to A.B. (Banjo) Paterson)
There was gossip at the Hub, for word had passed around
That the man from B&V had got away,
And had joined the wild Grey Nomads - he was worth a thousand pound,
So all good blokes had gathered to the fray.
All the tried and noted expats from the suburbs near and far
Had mustered at the homestead overnight,
For strong men were sorely needed to set the tent up on the car,
And the Sheilas supped the bottle with delight.
