The Lake Bolac Shearer

In shearing sheds in south eastern Australia a shearer of renown
The middle aged shearer from Lake Bolac Town
On average he shears two hundred and fifty big wethers a day
There are far easier ways for one to earn their pay
He is one tough, strong and hardy fellow of him one can say
His brown curly hair is beginning to gray
He does not have children or a traveling partner or wife
Personal commitments would not suit one with his way of life
In working and drinking he does not leave the reputation of his profession down
He has a female lover or two in most every south eastern bush town
He is one who works hard and knows how to have a good time
In his early forties just past his physical prime
With the sweat of his brow he earns his every pay
He is shearing far north of Lake Bolac today.
