The Colin Show

Inspired by the camping comp


Now on this night, I was sharing beers
with an Aboriginal bloke, Colin I think
A Nunga*, by his own account

Hey White fella
do you like yarns?
Nodding, yea Black fella
give me your best
Clinking stubbies*
cheers mate let me start

He proceeded to spin about how
his ancestral land, South Australia
was his spiritual place
Wandering this land as prophet

He told how each of his children
had been spiritually conceived
unions of love, not children
born of lust ill gotten
Explaining how here
now for purpose of retelling and time
South Australia on the ocean side
looks like a penis standing erect
I think Kangaroo Island the female part
Fuck I was stoned and the fire hypnotizing
One conception I remember, he has a lot of offspring
was conceived on cliff face, on full moon, overlooking the ocean

I think that was what Colin was getting at
The beer flowing freely, his boast bolder
He pissed in my ear a bit
saying he was also an actor in a movie
Black Bastards or Mad Bastards
he was only sure on the Bastard part

About this time we parted ways
me thinking this bloke spun a good yarn
but the movie part was a bit much

I was channel flicking the other day
I stumbled across, Mad Bastards
I'll be fucked, there's Colin


* Nunga is what the S.A natives call them selves
*Stubbie is a 600 ml beer bottle
