No I Cannot Tell You

 No i cannot tell you i have been there and done that

Though i have worked in pipeline crews in Buninyong near Ballarat

And i have worked on electrical power vehicles above electric powerlines trimming tall trees

A dangerous job that did not entail uni degrees

Long before time did become my foe

In woods i have felled trees going back decades ago

And i have worked in building sites jackhammering all day

Hard physical work that was not matched by pay

I worked in farms as a young man from here far away

And picked potatoes paid by the bag for farmers in May

And nowadays with rhyming words i just love to play

This is nothing to boast of in truth one can say

Going into old age with little money or fame

But despite lack of achievement happy just the same.
