Whether it’s dingoes introduced to Pelorus Island
to eradicate feral goats, or an inoffensive clearing
of the vines clinging to our electricity & telephone
line where they cross the creek, we’re indebted to
hinted common-sense. Leastways far as we know,
they don’t de-sex & vaccinate techies who clear a
flora embraced power line, tho it wouldn’t surprise
were there threats to emasculate ‘em if they err
And there is praiseworthy evidence they didn’t - if
it was anything special to note - trees which vines
proliferate upon still stand tall and free but the line
is unencumbered; down the track a ways we’ll get
the vines back no doubt, & they will come ’n clear
‘em again with equal efficiency, while th’ trees, no
Doubt, will keep their part of the pact silently …
