Moo Poo

MOO POO "Can you help me to cart some manure", My uncle asked quietly one day, So off in my car with our shovels,  “We'll get plenty",he went on to say "It’s down in the bush just a mile On the left of the road out of town", "If we hurry, we’ll get several bags full,  I can plant my seeds straight in the ground." "The onions will grow up enormous, Tomatoes will be the towns best The cabbages, pumpkins and peas will all sprout, When that moo poo is put to the test." "Just drive through the bush a short while. Look out to the left on your side", "You’ll see where the shire has dumped it,  That huge mound up there in a pile" The cattle manure is o.k.,  It is thought to equal the best But it wasn’t so easy to shift with the shovel,  We needed some time off to rest. “Maybe our hands would be quicker" Said Uncle, his eyes all aglow, So anxious to please, I was down on my knees,  Then lav paper started to show. “Are you sure this comes from the cow yard" "It looks a bit suspect to me”, I wandered around, and checked all the ground And nothing like this did I see. These cattle must be very house trained,  To be up to such a fine caper, All I can say and I’ve been all around,  "I've not seen one that used toilet paper" It appears that the pile where we dug from Was tipped there from sanitary cans, We drove on back home, with Uncle so clean,  And me, with dung on my hands!. I’ll never be conned by another,  Trip down to that sanitary patch, If Uncle wants more, he can go to the store,  And lug the bags home on his back T. Claydon.  C

Additional Notes:
Yes it is true, my dear old uncle God bless him and me too, After we got it all home he casually climbed into my twin sisters car for the 400 mile trip to Perth from her farm, and left Bob and me to take the stinking stuff in our car,(a station wagon, so there was no escape ) Uncle was 92 years old and he passed away in the November of that year
