"Giggle Ya' Guts Out"
Humorous Australian Bush Poetry And Verse
By
Rodney John O'Brien
Is a collection of humorous bush poetry about some of the craziest people, animals and mythical creatures you are ever likely to come across in outback Australia.
I have dedicated these poems to
"GOOD AUSTRALIAN BEER"
who was my constant companion who introduced me to my never-ending visions of imagination.
