It must have been twenty years ago, well before I was born There stood a crowd expectantly, this cold and Autumn morn The place was Towoomba Lookout, the sun as bright as corn Only three remained. from the dozen that had been drawn
It was for the annual spitting contest, of all Australia They were all well trained, not contemplating any failure Each proudly had used the previous heats, as an easy trailer Now, eagerly awaiting the starters call, over the loud hailer
First to take his stance, was foreign named Michelle Le Gance Famous for his running approach, just like an Emu's dance Who'd recently won the Normandy contest, over in sunny France A deep regurgitated rumble spitter, not without a chance
Second in line was a pasty Pom, by the name of Bob McCobb He was renowned in Yorkshire, as a right old bloody slob But could spit the pants off, any upper dandy righteous nob And had been backed into favourite, by many an English bob
Third in line was a skinny Aussie by the name of Darling Danny His family called him a lot of names, and this was one of many Casually listening through the earphones, of his little tranny Watched closely by the folks, and his treasured little Granny
The Frenchman raced and let fly, a thin wavering looking golly Something like a half swallowed, and masticated chewed old lolly His aim was off, the wind had changed, too late he saw the folly After winding around his head, it landed on a woman's brolly
Bob stood still, as was his will, and postulated before he spat He would aim high, up to the sky, and miss all spectators hats Hoping that his guile would send it miles before going splat so it did travelling forty miles, before hitting Piper's Flat
The crowd stood hushed, as everyone rushed up from the busy town They'd all come to see Darling Danny, the lad from Darling Downs The Norwesterly wind was so strong, and so very well renowned His spit hit some turbulance, breaking the drought in Bordertown
And that's how a young skinny log splitter, became the worlds record spitter!
