"Koori Tram"

Woke up in my Koori bed
Shook the cobwebs from my Koori head
Splashed cold water on my Koori face
Then looked about my Koori place
Crossed over to my Koori sink
And poured myself a Koori drink
Felt an inside hungry Koori need
So cooked myself a Koori feed
Switched on my Koori radio
To listen to the Koori show
Caught up with all the Koori news
As I put on both my Koori shoes
Found my cleanest Koori top
Then headed for my Koori stop
Met a sister there with a Koori pram
Together we boarded the Koori tram
Found myself a Koori seat
Sat down at looked at my Koori feet
Raised my head in time to see coming down the aisle
A black man dressed in tramway green, wearin a Koori smile
A leather bag hung from his neck holding tickets cash and keys
His eyes caught mine he grinned and said.....
…….Darks Please! Darks Please! Darks Please!
