I am the didgeridoo.

And I have a story or two.

It's greatly debated,

how I was created,

I am the didgeridoo.


I was born in northern Australia.

And mate I can seriously tell ya,

The choice of a name

in Kakadu strange.

I am the didgeridoo.


They don't know exactly my age

or when I appeared on the stage

but made out of wood,

eucalyptus is good.

I am the didgeridoo.


I am played with vibrating lips.

Circular breathing makes my drone slip,

from out the far end

blows an aboriginal wind.

I am the didgeridoo.

Well done.

I am rather fond of Matt James, one of local muso's here in Queensland.

thanks Sharon... high praise for me, coming from you! :)
I love this - yes it is entertaining - in much the way Jaberwocky is - but it is also properly penned with great rhythm and rhyme -

Jaberwocky? Isn't that about a savage beast?

I will show this to my kids next time they ask me what a digeridoo is. I think I launched into some aboriginal history lesson and they fell asleep. lol. Great writing, great style, neat choice of subject.

You really caught my attention with this. I don't know what a didgeridoo is, but I love looking up and learning about new creatures and animals... My guess is a mythical creature, or an extinct creature? All I know, is I will be looking it up. Amazing write Ray! Thank you for sharing. xo Winter

I was shopping lately, and heard a sound, of one of those Didgeridoo's, (a street musician)... I laughed so much, because the player did it with so much humor in it... it was just like he did mouth-farted all the time, lol...

This piece made me smile from ear to ear, and brought me back to that lovely moment...
I like the way you personificate yourself with this wooden instrument... nicely done my friend.
