"Swagman"
Swagman
He stood in the dark corner of my room. Tall and thin, straggly beard, with his pack and bedroll. Smelt like a dog.
When I was a kid, back on the farm, some nights the swagman came to visit.
Told me he hung himself from the big old red gum down by the creek. Wanted to show me where …and how. Silly bugger.
Swagman.
