Poem Title:
Poem
"Road to Lovejoy - Piano for the Self Taught" (Part 2) His name was Flight Left-Tennant V.C.Burton, or "Victor Charlie Bravo", when he got pulled over by the cops, explaining "a sherbert or two Lynette, but not on the rocks". though he makes me spell it off by heart “Flight L.I.E.U.T.E.N.A.N.T”. for spelling it right I get Lamingtons and a hot Cuppa sugary Tea. Royal Australian Airforce (R.A.A.F.) - "R Double A, F" his current stint, “Mate! Airforce base with all the big Spitfires and Jet Fighters, Amberley," then later after "THE" "Event" (quotation marks hushed reverent tone)... he asks for posting up the Mountain 7 Stores Depot, free reign of the "Mess" where there he is the Commander's Adjutant, his rank still Flight Left-Tennant... I think they must be very messy there and he cleans up all the mess. "The Yanks say Loo-Tennant!” he advised in his Sargent Major way - his pride of course were the medals he wore from his Tour of Duty days... First Regiment into Vietnam Saigon based, Royal Australian Army way back-in-the-day. “We're HOME Nan”, he gently carries me out of the car up to bed from the rented Airforce Base home's driveway. It's no tin shed, it's a flaming Fibro Mansion. “I’ll get your sisters next, Cream Buns for Breakfast! Tomorrow’s Sunday”. It was Saturday night, we’d been for a visit down the mountain to North East near the Ocean that day to lay flowers on HER grave. “We’ll do Bribie Island another day. I’ll read you bloody Loose Arabs 3", this delivered so so not P.C., "the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, tomorrow night. I’ve had enough of the Nicene Creed for one day!”. Piano for the Self Taught? Well, that’s a story for another day, something that can’t be bought. Priceless in it’s own way. This is a story of Love, “Unconditional” - the Lovejoy-Burton Way. ...to be continued. (Lovejoy-Burton/2017 Dec) 1."RoadToLovejoy- (Piano for the Self Taught)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8dPPtMiwl4
