FROM THE PEN OF JANE GRAY
SEPTEMBER 2020
AUSSIE COUNTRY PUB Every town has got one, some have many more One on every corner used to be the score Mostly iron & timber sometimes brick or stone The standard of the service always set the tone Up north the wide verandas catch the cooling breeze Down south the open fireplace ensures one doesn’t freeze Outback & in the Wild West the competition’s rife Who’s got the best collection of curios of life So much paraphernalia from thongs & hats & bras Foreign paper money, memorabilia of rock stars The centre of the townships or alone out in the scrub You have to have a beer at an Aussie Country Pub
