Invented by the bureaucrats to stop their jobs from fading,
A nasty imposition that has now been put in force,
It’s become an obligation to attend a two day course.
There are courses by the hundreds to improve your education,
It’s now become essential that you get accreditation,
You will need that piece of paper or you’ll really be in strife,
Although what you will be learning, you have been doing all your life.
In the drought of 69’ I cut trees from dawn to dark,
And fence posts by the thousands I have sawn from iron bark,
Now it’s hard to fathom that I could break the law,
If I dare to start the motor of my trusty old chain saw.
Take chemical applications, that’s something I know best,
By now I must have sprayed every single living pest,
From cattle ticks to buffalo fly, from burrs to rubber vine,
Now a course must be attended or I’ll risk a whopping fine.
Just ask those who know me, if I know how to use a gun,
From every sort of weapon, I’ve shot bullets by the ton,
Though I’ve been proficient since I reached the age of ten,
It seems this is something that I have to learn again.
I’ve studied on computers, learnt how to market crops,
Benchmark & QA, I’ve been to those workshops,
Breed plan is something I now understand in full,
It took me two days to learn how to scrotum test a bull.
My stock are getting poorer from the general lack of care,
And all my bores and fences are in sad need of repair,
You may think I’m lazy, but simple isn’t true,
I’d go to work tomorrow, but there’s another course to do.
The bank would like to see me for the funds are getting low,
And I’d like to get the time to plant the crops I need to grow,
My wife and kids are missing me cause I’m hardly ever there,
I’d love to stay at home, but there’s this course in cattle care.
If I continue in the vein, I’ll surely end up broke,
All these accreditation’s are really just a joke,
I’d rather wrestle with scrub bulls or ride on bucking horses,
Than be subjected to these TWO DAY BLOODY COURSES.
I am currently attending night school (not sure how I'm actually fitting all this stuff in :/ oh well) and it reminded of this poem someone gave to me many years ago. My course is actually quite informative however the courses we have looked at in the meantime have left me wondering and scratching my head...
THE TWO DAY COURSE
There’s a blight upon the country that’s really quite degrading,If you stick band aids on my car windscreen and smash eggs on it at least have the common sense to not make so much noise that I hear you, get out of bed - and catch you at it. You then run off as I simply yawn follow you in my car until you cant run any more and we "discuss" the error of your ways which involves you washing my car. fool...
