Upon the Road to Rockabout

Upon the road to Rockabout

I came upon some sheep -

A large and woolly flock about

As wide as it was deep.

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 -
