Myella Heaven

I went to stay at Myella,
With Olive, Pete, Lynn and Norm.
I rode, I fed cows and I mustered,
And on motor bikes I kicked up a storm!

----

There’s even a trampoline for jumping,
To keep fit for the ride the next day.
My back is so sore, my feet are so bruised,
I know that tomorrow I’ll pay

---

The food is truly delicious,
Cooked up by Olive each day.
With Pie and damper and crumble,
Second helping? What can I say?

----

Stubby the dog chases cattle.
But gets over excited a lot.
We can’t keep him quiet when he’s meant to,
So he stays on his lead if he’s not.

----

Midget the ‘roo drinks milk,
She visits at teatime and morn.
She really is ever so friendly,
She’s been coming ever since she was born!

----

On Monday I saddled up Cool Joe,
But changed to a pretty chestnut steed.
Molly was great, we raced round the estate,
And rounded up cows that’d been freed.

----

Echo’s a bouncy black pony,
He jogs along at a trot.
Cowboy and Freddie are mates you know,
Get between them and that is your lot!

----

Reggie and Biddy are moody,
They bite and they kick if they can.
But Isis is gentle but feisty,
And Viola’s her biggest fan!

----

Angel’s an old girl but lively,
Just like a Red Indian’s charge.
Candy’s a sweet little pony,
And Trigger’s always giving it large!

----

A new calf was born on Tuesday,
And we fought upon what was her name.
Cappuccino, Twiglet or Andy?
No matter, it’s beefsteak all the same!

----

I’ve looked at the stars with Peter,
Through telescope and with naked eye.
We saw that the moon has big craters,
"On your back, just look at the sky!"

----

We’ve sat round the fire and we’ve chatted,
Told stories and toasted our bread,
Made "Billy tea" over the embers,
Or drunk milk from the cows instead.

----

Overall, Myella is heaven,
Relax and enjoy it and smile.
Learn how to ride and drive cattle
Because you won’t want to leave for a while.
