The Catalogue In The Outback  Dunny.

Round  the   outhouse  grows  a  passionfruit vine,
its greenery  hiding  the ancient  weathered timber.
Leave the door part open for some  light to shine
to  illuminate  gloom  and  make  the  mind  more limber.                               

Here in moments of  quiet contemplation,
fearing only the redback under the toilet seat,
far from domestic strife and tribulation
Read !  make your education more complete!

A catalogue hangs from a nail here on the wall ,
one corner pierced , and  hung on a loop of twine;
placed there  to furnish the wherewithal
which  will both mental and physical needs  define.

In that catalogue, there are commercial wonders
parading before you in  colourful array,
surviving there despite the unhappy blunders
of those who tore past relevant sheets away.

Do not tear off the pages shiny with pictures,
for slippery surfaces thereupon you'll find,  
but save them to read in unhappy times of strictures
(and for  servicing the sitters  they are less  than kind).

To the idle mind they may bring revelation
oft-times providing much happy inspiration,
filling those moments of pleasant expectation
that allay  the worrying problems of constipation.
