Days Dream For An Old Swagman

Once an old swagman paddled his way up stream he’d seen over a thousand fishes even a limousine, then he saw a jelly fish floating its way down stream he always thought they were friendly, but once he touched it’s tentacles his mind started to do maths mentals (he went to sleep)


His boat started to scream down stream and he pulled his paddles in at that time he saw a can of baked beans in a tin, he pulled that in with them, he pulled himself in by snagging a branch with his baked beans in a tin

As he sat down on an old rocking chair he swung his corks side to side like an old rock band he stuck wheels to his rocking chair and selected his CD, listening to old rock music even ACDC he rocked and rolled until a complaint was sent into the police and never again did he swing to that old AC/DC

Then he woke up in his boat and saw a waterfall he then fell down and broke his crown and his boat came tumbling after.
