On the Western edge of the city
Grassed parking, bushland too
Specimen plants give the chance
To so enhance the view
The Swan rolls by excitingly
its majesty evolves
A huge Botanic Garden
What mystery that solves
Sugar Gums and Ghost Palms
clearly they survive
Memorials of lost loved one’s
Who sadly lost their lives
An aboriginal gallery
that clearly helps one trace
The History, the areas
Australia the place
Perth as clean a city
As any one might grace
