They often ask whats your language
English mate then comes ones the reply
Which one they say comes the question
Is it USA .. U K .. Australian then I sigh

Go to court hand on book do you swear
Would you clarify that question mate
The book written almost a life time ago
Your answer this part of it all how I hate

Australian mate you then say frowning
You might be one of 300 religions true
And next what Country from orignally
Academic out back or Aussie Slang too

Then in Australia you have different ways
Of telling it all in order to explain as well
Could be what you really think feel a yarn
Seriously or joking that bit really rings a bell

Aussies at times not lying can be fair dinkum
Honest as or just telling as they say a yarn
Depending on the conversation thats at hand
How can I put this truth from church or barn

One can't go on the printed word on computers
Need to be looking at the explaing ones face
Then comes the question how far up the road
Might be a few miles might be 500 to that place

I had real long hair and on computere one day
They were asking just how long is your hair
I said Willy Nelson said I had longer than he
To answer the question that was for me there

Someone wrote Dad and I are laughing madly
Might have been Willy I have'nt got a clue
Of course he never said that to me at all mate
They were laughing at me and me at them too

In Australia conversatons at times can be truth
Or just how can I put this or a yarn it might be
Expessions not a part of computer conversations
Or Australian form of how can I put this poetry

I often wonder how a Muslim feels in a court
Hand on book do you swear to tell the truth
Sitting up the back of the court I smile some
What a stupid question as I whisper .. Struth
