Been a hot summer and you need a break
I know such a place for good beer and steak.
In Queensland Dalby town, has history fame.
Tis called the 'Criterian' The Cri nickname
Beat the Dry drop into the Cri 17-12-19
Whenever you are feeling dry.
Stop for a cool one at the Cri.
You be a fool to keep driving by.
You find it easy, near the creek.
It is where to go, people speak.
If refreshment is what you seek.
Ben and Lisa are shared boss.
A fail to stop will be your loss.
Inside or out who gives a toss.
Need a feed, the grub is top.
Must be why all busses stop.
Keeping kitchen on the hop.
Fear your breath being blown.
Do not spend your night alone.
Cri bus will see you safely home.
You may be served by Annie girl.
Floats to the bar with friendly Swirl.
Add Snippets of cheek she can hurl.
Leana delivers with beaming smile.
What you drink is on her mental file.
Sits ready to quench your dry mile.
Julie chats to all, listening to their bull.
Effortlessly keeping all bar glasses full.
No dry waiting here with attentive ‘Jule’
Time to go, grand people you have met.
Your mood is high, buzzed full of pep.
Just watch out for that bloody step.
