Mallacoota

We start in the car,
We aren't going very far.
We’re going to the Wallagaraugh River.
This is bizarre,
I am getting the shivers.
We cast in our rods,
And we pray to the gods,
Then I feel it, a tug.
Then out jumps a humongous cod.
I lay it in the esky making it as snug as a bug in a rug.
The wind starts swirling,
Then we start bustling,
We race for the car.
Then the thunder starts coming,
It rolls in like a cheetah.
We end in the car,
It feels quite far.
We are going back home,
Hopping in the spa,
Under the dome.
