I'm a Carefree Cretin,
Which isn't hard to be.
What e'er I do, you can be sure,
Involves a Search Party.

I'll wander off into the Bush,
Entirely unprepared;
Causing fuss, and much expense.
What? Do you think I'm scared?

I'll go too near edge of a Cliff,
Fall, and break some bones.
It's better that than stuck at home,
With slackers, slobs, and drones.

Or, I'll go off a'Swimming,
Where current's deep and strong.
After I am rescued,
I'll gaily wave, "So long!"

I love to go Sea Sailing,
In leaky, home-made, craft.
At much expense I'm rescued.
Looking back, I laughed.

Or, I will go Car Racing,
And, if crash into a tree;
It's nice to know the Hospital,
Will patch up mates and me.

I'll try and beat the stupid Train,
Put foot down to the floor;
And dodge between the Boom Gates,
Have done it oft before.

Whatever you can think of,
I'll do it to Excess;
Such as Bingeing at a Party,
Bequeathing you, the Mess.

'Cos I'm a Dinkum Drongo,
Like Life of Thrills'n Spills.
Better Death by Misadventure,
Than Living on, with Dills.
