- !!!RUBBISH DUMPERS BEWARE!!!
- In the
middle of the bush, on the edge of the bush, ANYWHERE! Boy, I’d
love to shove their noses in it, wouldn’t you?
|
 - The
bush is not a rubbish dump -
- We
should always keep it clean,
- But
alas, the opposite is true
- Of many
a place I’ve seen
- Where
foil and plastic litter the ground
- And
rubbish is flung in the pool:
- It’s
unforgivable, my friend, it’s unforgiva-bloody-bull!
- The
bush is not a rubbish dump –
- It has
been said for years,
- Yet
some of the sights that I have seen
- Fill my
eyes with tears,
- To see
the sacred fireplace
- With
kitchen scraps stuffed full –
- It’s
unforgivable, my friend, it’s unforgiva-bloody-bull!
- How
frequently it is to find
- A very
beautiful place
- Where
someone’s taken the liberty
- To
leave it a disgrace,
- With
plastic bags and sardine tins
- Despoiling a bushland jewel:
- It’s
unforgivable, my friend, it’s unforgiva-bloody-bull!
- And
down beside the waters edge
- Some
morons had their fun –
- They
lined their bottles on the rocks
- And
smashed them, one by one.
- No
doubt they thought that such a show
- Of
stupidity was cool:
- It’s
unforgivable, my friend, it’s unforgiva-bloody-bull!
- What
wretches come to see the bush,
- To
breathe the fragrant air,
- To lie
in the sun by a waterhole
- And
then leave their rubbish there?
- "Who
thinks he's free to trash the place
- Is thinking like a fool"
- It’s
unforgivable, my friends, it’s unforgiva-bloody-bull! ,
- Dear
God, to he who came this way,
- Who
dumped his trash and fled,
- May
twenty trucks of garbage
- Tip
their contents on his head.
- For the bush is not a rubbish dump
- Be hard
and fast the rule:
- It’s
unforgivable, my friend, it’s unforgiva-bloody-bull!
