'OUT ON THE OUTBACK ROAD.'
by Robert Davidson.
Once I was a rough and reckless rock 'n' roller,
Spendin' many night a-singin' out on the outback road;
When you'd hear me a-thumpin' on my electric guitar,
You'd never guess I'd been a-drinkin' such a heavy load.
One night a-standin' up there on a makeshift stage,
In a town I forget somewhere out on the outback trail;
I'd spent so many nonstop nights out on the road,
Didn't realise my singin' act was gettin' kinda stale.
Many people in town said the music was far too loud,
And more than once a fight broke out, which spoilt the fun.
That last night an old stockman came a-stridin' into the hall,
He carried a coiled-up whip and a long-loaded gun,
Shouted 'rock 'n' roll was just the devil's own nasty sound,'
He shot the drummer dead; then had me on the run.
Next day the cops shot that stockman on the edge of town,
But I point my finger at myself for that episode;
Because I spiked that stockman's beer just before the show,
Now I'm spendin' no more nights out on the outback road.

Wow, this reminds me of a country song.. the video to one on TV .. to view characters in the feeling in which the song poetically features ...
Either that, or a musician hitting the highroad.. lol. out back... and then... the music slows.. no more glow...trouble hits..too many days and nights on the outback road... yeah, the drinkin caught up with the "I", way too much fun..bringin on the fuzz.. ouch.. one man down, oh my, not my drummer guy lol..who steadies the beat here...well, I guess loud music.. especially when good can cause problems.. especially when they are not invited.. lol lol.. yeah you backed yourself up, sort of twisted this story ahead of my mind.. your writing did that to me.. got me all wound up.. into this brawl.. worrying.. and then at the end, I am going.... yeeeesssss... things were handled fine man.. just way out fine... haha.. for that stockman...
Hope you continue to enjoy your nights on that outback road.. wish I could joinya..
LOL.. my mind got twisted over this write, but I aint gonna change my comment.. too tired. lol..

I kinda like ya style of writing Robert. It has its own uniqueness. A truly gifted poet with such flare with a pen. I'm an Aussie too.
Hugs,

| Not bad, I like the story line in your poetry. I just suggest cleaning it up a little bit. But not to bad at all. |
