Now I lay me down to sleep, 
I’m feverishly counting sheep …
Hoping that the perfect number 
Rewards me with a dreamless slumber.

Envisioning the sylvan state, 
I close my eyes and concentrate 
On willing ev’ry fuzzy shape 
To leap in order through the gate.  

I...

When I was a kid with a dirty neck
my mam would scream “wash it”, I’d run like ‘eck
grow spuds in your ears, she’d yell at me

I used to get my haircut, at the local RSL

I’ve roved the whole wide world
And splendid it's wildly wonders are too,
Decided to lay down my hat
Close to an Aussie wombat,

Now I am old afraid of being left on...

The Grim Reaper, stirs from another well earned day of heavenly sleep
From within the bowels of this cavernous earth, from his cave so deep

His cloak and scythe, been cast to one side in an unceremonious heap
From last night’s hard work of collecting souls in the...

So radiant in yellow gold hue
Under a bright afternoon sunshine
Neck turning slowly to directly
Follow and kiss the sun;
Loveliest of flowers, a symbol
Of optimism and happiness 
Welcoming all with such glee 
Even on saturnine days. Ever so...
Resplendent...that's why I love thee!

Twice a day, the jackdaws gather in their thousands, in that same old tree 
It is as if they only gather for a good old group meet and a bit of repartee

Standing in the garden you see them flying in their groups from overhead
As in...
