Said Grenfell to My Spirit by Henry Lawson, 1911
Said Grenfell to my spirit, "You've been writing very free
Of the charms of other places, and you don't remember me.
You have claimed another native place and think it's Nature's law,
Since you never paid a visit to a town you never saw:
So you sing of Mudgee Mountains, willowed stream and grassy flat:
But I put a charm upon you — and you won't get over that."

Listen to poem:
Cant Get Over That
My name bestowed upon
me, is not me!
It's my parents' label.
A wrist band immutable.
