Come Back to the Bush – Thomas E. Spencer
I’m what they call a “solid man,”
I’ve made a decent pile;
So I brought my folks to London,
And we’ve settled down in style.
We wear clothes that don’t quite suit us,
Go to balls, and shows, and plays,
And we’re striking out for happiness
In various kinds of ways.
But a Voice keeps on calling me back
To the bush and the wallaby-track,
To the home on the clearing,
The sheep and the shearing -
The voice keeps on saying, “Come back!”
We’re living in Belgravia,
In the midst of Fashion’s whirl;
On my left there lives a marquis,
And right opposite an earl.
We’ve carriage and a coachman,
And a footman dressed in plush,
Whose calves stick out so prominent
They make my daughters blush.
But the Voice keeps on saying, “Come back
To the bush and the wallaby-track,
Where the bright sun is glowing
And cattle are lowing,
Come back to your freedom, come back!
My wife she holds “receptions,”
While my daughters study “art,”
And my son he drives a tandem,
Though his father drove a cart.
We have dinner in the evening,
And we always dress to dine;
We eat strange foods with foreign names,
And wash it down with wine.
Yet the Voice keeps calling me back,
To the bush and the wallaby-track,
Where the wool-bales are packing,
And stockwhips are cracking,
It whispers forever - “Comeback!”
And the voice keeps calling, calling
Til I see the Iron Bark ridge,
Til I see the gum logs burning
In the gully near the Bridge;
I can hear the teamsters swearing

When I visited Florida, I went to Bush Gardens and my favorite ride was the Cheetah Run. This was the first roller coaster we went on and because of that it was the most thrilling and scariest experience of the day. The anticipation and the rush I got was amazing, but getting there was harder than I thought. Driving to Bush Gardens was an anticipating nightmare; the inner conflict inside my brain was louder than the conversation going on in the car. I was a nervous wreck telling myself I was going…
...this document was submitted for a grade only...I have the upmost respect for all patries involved. Thanks kindly, author Lies Behind the Bush Looking back over the past six years, I often ponder what happened to the justice, freedom and equality that America and its fore fathers claimed to hold true. The land of opportunity it has been called; this phrase makes one wonders who is the recipient of such treat. The positive out look of trust in our government officials, political…
physical world. “In A Dry Season” Henry Lawson examines the Australian landscape to create and present its idiosyncrasies to help shape meaning for the audience through distinctive visuals. In an effort to maintain realism and avoid presenting the bush as a ‘rural paradise’, Lawson relies on varies visual techniques to accentuate its monotony. In the opening paragraph, Lawson invites the audience with an imperative “draw a wire fence and a few raged gums, and add some scattered sheep running away…
of that you can't turn back the clock; we're not going to abolish e-mail, or computers aren't going to get slower, but things can go in another direction. Markets do best and work best and deliver what they can do during times of peace. And if you're not in a time of peace, but you're in some other kind of time, then things won't work as well, and priorities will be elsewhere as well (Commanding Heights)”. The United States was about to go into a recession and President Bush wanted to rebuild an economy…

research, and pursue other nuclear-related projects, this can be very real. It might happen in ten years, a few months, or even – tomorrow.

liberal views on war and Maines’ bash on President George W. Bush. Due to America's involvement in the Iraq war, Natalie Maines reacted by publically bashing President Bush at her concert, in turn upsetting her republican country fans. The Iraq war was justified by the 9/11 attack, but after years of Bush not bringing the soldiers home, Americans started to retaliate. President Bush did not wait long after 9/11 to call war on Iraq. Bush was ready to “get started on this [war]" (qtd. in Hamilton)…
