The Bilbies Lament
poem by Frank Manthey

I was born in a sunburnt country,
in a time of long ago.
Before rabbits, cats and foxes,
I was free to come and go.

So come on all you Aussies,
It makes darn good common sense,
to help these guys that are trying
to build our saviour fence.

Aussies stick together,
in fire, floods and drought,
support this fund to help us,
our time is running out.
