Maria Williams Poet Rhyme

G'Day Jack Oz Is Calling

Tribute

You are a wonderful human being and a man of many talents Jack Ellison for all your many achievements. 
Age is only number - your charismatic persona and optimism shines through your poems.

I’m honored to be your friend. Thanks for your poem ‘An Aussie Sweetie’ and for the Laughs.

Weather forecast Sydney Bondi Beach tomorrow…
Hot, Sunny with a ‘slight swell’.
So still on in front of the Bondi Beach Pavilion tomorrow?
Oops! I hope I don’t get you into trouble with this one!

Enjoy our musical greeting from the late and great Aussie - Slim Dusty in true Oz style. 

Such a wealth of talent this Cool guy Jack
Lives in freezing temperatures and that’s a fact
Dreams of a hot Aussie beach to re-enact 
In the Land Down Under his ardour asunder
He pops a popper to celebrate the wonder
Of ‘Knockers’ galore and for sure naught a lack
Oh Glorious Days! His libido is back

A song by Slim Dusty ‘G'day G'day’ – inspired by the great ‘land down under’ - Australia
