Banjo Paterson,
The Dam that Keele Built
(1905)
“ Head of the Water and Sewer Brigade, Who measured the stream that brought the water to fill the dam that Keele built; This is the Sydneyite afraid That a serious blunder will be made, Because of the Minister, quite dismayed At the sight of the Scornful Mr Wade, Who sneered at the Calculations made By the Eminent Engineer by Trade, Head of the Water and Sewer Brigade, Who measured the stream that brought the water to fill the dam that Keele built; This work is in the public domain in Australia because it was created in Australia and the term of copyright has expired. ”
