Best Ladd Poems

Something is a brewing in the yeast war
The Vegemite team has grown
Can you hear our roar?

There’s a band of Aussie ladies
Vegemite Vixens we are called
Just comparing Marmite to Vegemite 
We are totally appalled……

Anne Sangster is second in charge

for getting this far.
You...

Those warts and mistakes
get Photoshop casting couch edited away
Baby Jane rude attitude don’t make the cut
Knife in the back ...
unfriend me Alan Ladd attacks

mind’s pollution disaster, scum’s scourge on high seas,
the weird child of George Orwell, George Wallace, “BAD” Shane! (1)

for ‘conservative’s base,’ all...

Still a boy
Such a happy Ladd
Catching fireflies
In a jar, in midsummer night
Oh, what a dandy, said

Long ago a young lady barely eighteen , got 
lost in the woods.
It was like an enchanted forest, it held
much mystery and fright.
The trees could walk and talk, she thought

She declined...
