Ode from an Aussie Farmer to his sheep ©
I will not turn my back on you
And send you to strange lands
Where you will surely suffer
By careless and cruel hands
Ne’er again will you board damned ships
The ships that smell of hell
No animal of mine will know this fear
For you have served me, oh so well
I am forever grateful
No more could you give
Your humble life is what I ask
For me and mine to live
Australia is your homeland
And this is where you’ll stay
Among the trees and land you know
This promise I have made
