What Does A Bunyip Look Like

What does a bunyip look like i asked Joe
He said i've never seen one wouldn't know
But they grow huge or so i have been told
And they live to be hundreds of years old.

They have inspired the bards and poets to song
And they live deep in the deep billabong
They stir up mud make waters look unclean
And in murky waters they cannot be seen.

But most still claim they've heard it all before
And such stories are just myths and nothing more
And that at billabong bottom only yabbies crawl
And bunyips never did exist at all

John Manifold the great Australian poet
In his poem the 'Bunyip And The Whistling Kettle' wrote
Of the camper who went for his moonlight swim
And of how a hungry bunyip made a meal of him.

If you want to know what bunyips look like don't ask Joe
For he will tell you that he wouldn't know
But that they look big and ugly he's been told
And they live to be hundreds of years old.
