An Ordinary Day 7-11-2021
The ute still bogged 20 kms away.
Day has been challenged that I say.
Technical safe tools all failed to shine.
Phone signal dead, 2 way no one on line.
Over night the doggies stuck in their cage.
Mate if they were people they’d be in a rage.
So in the dark I hoofed it to the nearest bore.
Chasing signal to report my position and more.
Resting site one that was devoid of bushy plants.
Not so successful just because twas full of ants.
A third attempt for weary legs and aching head.
Turned ok because I slept the sleep of the dead.
At the bore waiting patiently in the dark of night.
Looking, searching for first hint of the morning light.
Got a message some morning help was to arrive.
A curious emu checked me out just before sunrise.
Not quite in the knight in shining armour of white.
In the shape, a cheery neighbour in his Toyota white.
In out-back style he left at dawn from 80 Km’s away.
Out of comfort zone, not dull in anyway is all I can say.
Home for breakfast, started a beer I dreamt of yesterday.
