Have you ever thought?
What weeds can do to water, land,
to native wildlife, soil and sand,
to crops and stock; How can we measure,
the damage weeds cause to things we treasure?

Have you ever thought?
How weeds can spread in drought in feed,
the hay, and grain, contain the seed,
or on moving stock from here to there,
to stop the land being eaten bare.

Have you ever thought?
What weeds can do, to everyone's health,
the thorns, or pollen that takes our breath,
or mats on water, don't just frown,
we must do something, before we drown!

Have you ever thought?
Some garden plants can quickly spread,
by wind or water and birds its said,
destroying the bush we all admire,
and adding fuel to heat bush fire.

Have you ever thought?
How cars and people spread weeds round,
on tyres, clothes, boots, without a sound,
creating problems for the nation
we need some help, a revelation!

Have you ever thought?
What we can do to stop weed spread,
get in early, and kill them dead,
clean our clothes, shoes and car,
or stop growing plants, that spread so far.

Have you ever thought?
We need to shut the weedy gate,
get together with your mate,
"Weedbusters unite" is the thing to call,
by working together, weeds will fall.
