Poem: "Like a Shag on a Rock"

This poem is spillover from the December 1, 2015 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by a prompt from rix_scaedu, augmented by descriptions of Australia from moonvoice, lone_cat, starcat_jewel, thnidu, siliconshaman, lunar_scythe, DW users Librarygeek, Chanter_greenie, and Fred_mouse.  It also fills the "dangerous" square in my 12-1-15 card for the Defining Character Bingo fest.  This poem belongs to the Berettaflies thread of the Polychrome Heroics series.
