When in the forest

When in the forest
The townies enjoy the day
Riding their bikes

When in the forest
The whinnying from motorbikes
Tears its silence

When in the forest
The scream of their engines
Invades its sanctity

When in the forest
The roar from their motor
Frightens the Roos

When in the forest 
This constant raving
Starts a stampede

When in the forest
The walkers feeling hunted
Take to bushbashing 

When in the forest
Walking away from this ruckus 
Escaping to safety

When in the forest
The townies spoil the week-end
By the scream of their engines.
