Explore "An Idyll of Dandaloo" by Andrew Barton Paterson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
On Western plains, where shade is not, / 'Neath summer skies of cloudless blue, / Where all is dry and all is hot, / There stands the town of Dandaloo -- / A township where life's total sum / Is sleep, diversified with rum.
It's grass-grown streets with dust are deep, / 'Twere vain endeavour to express / The dreamless silence of its sleep, / Its wide, expansive drunkenness. / The yearly races mostly drew / A lively crowd to Dandaloo.
