It never occurred to me someone would think I was making up words in my reply to Nigel. He commented on my Aussie user-name by spoofing 'Waltzing Matilda', hence my reply. Here's the translation:
Stealing from Banjo (author of Waltzing Matilda)
What a terrific idea!
Now don't get all upset
But someone has to say it
Since he can't talk
He's dead....
Are you operating with half a deck?
Or are you drunk
Having drank a case of FourX (Aussie beer overshadowed by Fosters)
Perhaps you just have the desire (pash: passionate)
To bash an Australian (Oz)
Who's new to the forum
Not a con-man
Or a highwayman
Or a sundowner (who shows up at night after the days work is done to beg a meal and a place to sleep)
Just a poor wandering worker
honest and loyal
Who does good work for his pay.
So order me a beer
I'll drink it right here
Then give a loud 'Good-bye' and shove off.
But having sex
with a sheep (jumbuck didn't work)isn't my thing
(I figure you get the rest)...
Good-night all
