Fifth in the ‘Ed’ Series,
‘When We Ancient Eds Were-’
My Photo Albums Go Back a Long Ways,
And a Fond Memory or Two, They Always Stir
“Without a shepherd,
Sheep are not a flock.”
An Old Russian Proverb
My next Brother Ed memoir was to be about Noah’s Ark
But my good friend, Steven Spielberg, just contacted me
He’s planning another epic Indiana Jones movie about that
So for now, he’s asked me to keep that adventure in secrecy
Although I’m a tad disappointed, I came across this old photo
It was taken in Australia, I do believe, a very long, long time ago
On the day that we first arrived in that awesome Land Down Under
When Edvard proclaimed, “Now, as Great Sheepherders, We Will Go!”
Alas, it seems we three Eds wandered forever through the Outback
And alas, we only came upon this one very old sheep, that blessed day
But the three of us very diligently watched over that wondrous old critter
And to this very day, I, little Pee Wee Ed, still miss our dear old Bessie May
But all that wandering we did in the Land Down Under
Was extremely beneficial to our brother, Jersey Devil Ed
As you can see in this cherished old photograph of mine
The day we arrived, Jersey had plenty of poundage to shed
And that day while we were wanderin, we found a Dingo pup
He was such a cute little critter, Jersey Ed named him ‘Rufuz’
And since good old Rufuz truly loved peein on old Edvard’s leg
Both Jersey Ed and I insisted this marvelous Dingo travel with us
But, of course, old Brother Edvard was once again disappointed
It seemed The Land Down Under would not provide our destiny
So, it wasn’t very long before we said our good-byes to Australia
And yet, once more, we three Eds were sailin away, on the High Sea

I once had a dingo,
his name was dongo;
I trained him to play the bongo,
but I never could train him to sing-o.
