Boomerang
Police investigating a death in Bombala
Stumbled on evidence when looking around
Next to the body of a dead sheila
A boomerang was found
Hard to imagine an aboriginal to be suspect
Not many hunters today use that weapon
Many folks in town don't expect
Suspicious platypus caught will go to prison
This story from down under sounds ridiculous
Though Aussie's from New South Wales can relate
Ya' don't know how to use a boomerang to kill a platypus
It'll come right back at you mate
