Mares & Joe
Mares ate oats and Joe eats oats
and a little lamb arriving...
"Will ya quit shoving
Can't you see me missus is up the duff
Yeah well we got a ticket too
Came in from the bush, special
Didn't know t'would be this packed but,
and everything all booked up.
But no worries we got a tent in the ute.
Figure to spend the night in that
Fair dunkum Mares!
Ya just spilled ya drink on me.
Wot? oh no.
Help she's having it!
Thanks mate. The name's Joe.
We getting married soon.
Not wanting the bugger to be a bastard, do I
Do the right thing, I will.
Reckons it's God's kid.
She's nice but innocent ya know?
So it'll be her me and the kid,
and oh ha ha, God.
Can you believe?
It'll be a real circus now".
