John Deere Ringers

John Deere Ringers

Out on the flat
Cattlemen assemble with their gear;
Not camp drafting trucking bullocks.
They’ve hoe and fertiliser.

Forklift for a steed;
“Watermelon Jack” not “Brumby Jack”
More often herd these days.
Steady throb of little tractors
Replace bull buggy and aeroplane

No need to pray for cyclones
Or steady winter rain,
Wind, droughts – they’re unafraid.
It gushes forth deep underground,
Powered by diesoline.

Flowing down the channels
Water sprayed through sprinklers on the ground
Irrigating tons of melons
Through a lattice work of foliage
On once red dusty ground.
