Me mate ’n me ‘ave just ‘ad a feed of Macnuts
we harvested - well, kinda like that’s not how it
really happened; he went off on a ‘dog-log’ trip
to a neighbour’s paddock, & I gathered the few
avoiding sulphur-crested cockatoo depredation;
its still early in the rat race so the cockies get a
chance to snatch some greenies off the tree &
crack the husks real easy with their beaks
But the shell underneath is another event - it is
quite a chore to dent one, they give up on most
which is where Podge ’n me get a look-in, grab
a pocketful quick ’n easy, then stroll back to the
Hacienda to crack a few with the nut machine -
not today’s - ones dried out weeks back; y’see
We’re getting to be smarter than the Cockies
