Sandy's Say: An Australian Love Poem
Sandy James came across this amusing, if somewhat disparaging love poem on a website. I am replicating it here with kind permission of the man who runs the blog, Ric Raftis. The author of the poem is unknown but it does sound as if it originated in the mind of an authentic Aussie male and for some Australian women, this is as good as" romance" ever gets. I hope that it makes you chuckle.
Of course I love ya darlin
You're a bloody top-notch bird
And when I say you're gorgeous
I mean every single word
So ya bum is on the big side
I don't mind a bit of flab
It means that when I'm ready
There's something there to grab
So your belly isn't flat no more
I tell ya, I don't care
So long as when I cuddle ya
I can get my arms round there
No Sheila who is your age
Has nice round perky breasts
Yurs just gave in to gravity
But I know ya did ya best
I'm tellin' ya the truth
I never tell ya lies
I think it's very sexy
That you've got dimples on ya thighs
I swear on me nanna's grave now
The moment that we met
I thought you was as good as
I was ever gonna get
No matter what you look like
I'll always love ya dear
Now shut up while the football's on
And fetch another beer.
