Upon The Road To Rockabout
by C. J. Dennis (1876–1938)

I was about to turn about To ask the man to tell Some things I wished to learn about Both sheep and wool as well,
When I beheld a rouseabout Who lay upon his back Beside a little house about A furlong from the track.
I had a lot to talk about, And said to him "Good day." But he got up to walk about, And so I went away--
