WHY THE JACKASS LAUGHS
The Boastful Crow and the Laughing Jack , Were telling tales of the outer back:
"I've just been travelling far and wide, At the back of Bourke and the Queensland side;
There isn't a bird in the bush can go As far as me," said the old black crow.
"There isn't a bird in the bush can fly A course as straight or a course as high.
Higher than human eyesight goes.
There's sometimes clouds -- but there's always crows, Drifting along for a scent of blood
Or a smell of smoke or a sign of flood.
For never a bird or a beast has been With a sight as strong or a scent as keen.
At fires and floods I'm the first about,
For then the lizards and mice run out: And I make my swoop -- and that's all they know -I'm a whale on mice," said the Boastful Crow.
The Bee-birds over the homestead flew And told each other the long day through
"The cold has come, we must take the track."
"Now, I'll make you a bet," said the Laughing Jack, "Of a hundred mice, that you dare not go
With the little Bee-birds, by Boastful Crow."
Said the Boastful Crow, "I could take my ease And fly with little green birds like these.
If they went flat out and they did their best I could have a smoke and could take a rest."
And he asked of the Bee-birds circling round:
"Now, where do you spike-tails think you're bound?"
"We leave tonight, and our present plan is to go straight on till we reach Japan.
"Every year, on the self-same day, We call our children and start away,
Twittering, travelling day and night,
Over the ocean we take our flight; And we rest a day on some lonely isles
Or we beg a ride for a hundred miles On a steamer's deck,* and away we go:
We hope you'll come with us, Mister Crow."
But the old black crow was extremely sad.
Said he: "I reckon you're raving mad To talk of travelling night and day,
And how in the world do you find your way?"
And the Bee-birds answered him, "If you please, That's one of our own great mysteries".
Now these things chanced in the long ago And explain the fact, which no doubt you know,
That every jackass high and low Will always laugh when he sees a crow.
Banjo Paterson
If you’ve a poem that you once knew
Send it in for all to view,
It may be something about your horse
Or cat, or dog, or pig of course,
Fact or fiction, funny or sad
Have a go, it’s not that bad!

SUDOKU PUZZLE
(Solution Next Bulletin)
Solution to last Bulletin’s
Psychiatrists vs. Bartenders =
EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD, I'VE ALWAYS HAD A FEAR OF SOMEONE
UNDER MY BED AT NIGHT. SO I WENT TO A SHRINK AND TOLD HIM:
'I've got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there's somebody under
it. I'm scared. I think I'm going crazy.'
'Just put yourself in my hands for one year,' said the shrink. 'Come talk to
me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears..'
'How much do you charge?'
'Eighty dollars per visit,' replied the doctor.
'I'll sleep on it,' I said..
Six months later the doctor met me on the street. 'Why didn't you come to
see me about those fears you were having?' he asked.
'Well, Eighty bucks a visit three times a week for a year is an awful lot of
money! A bartender cured me for $10. I was so happy to have saved all
that money that I went and bought me a new pickup!'
'Is that so!' With a bit of an attitude he said, 'and just how, may I ask, did a
bartender cure you?'
'He told me to cut the legs off the bed! - Ain't nobody under there now!!!'
FORGET THE SHRINKS.. HAVE A DRINK & TALK TO A BARTENDER!
May your troubles be less, Your blessings be more, And nothing but
happiness come through your door!
