the various streets of Sydney, they moved pretty slow and the
people wanted to move at a much faster pace.
Soon to follow was the steam...

Whispered breaths, gentle breeze, blushing hearts of sanguine hue
Wings aflutter of gossamer lace, pure, gentle, delicate and true

Beautiful glimmer in radiant sweetness, all the splendor that is you...

My Sydney,
From here to eternity,
You are my savior, my sanctity. 
When my soul was shadowed

One abysmally abhorrent and dismally dark.

Silhouetted in your shining radiance, 
You beautifully beckoned...

Lying on a  beach in Sydney,
scorched and sore in the dry heat,
the sand burns my toes.

I wander back to drizzly days in Leitrim,
when I paddled in my wellingtons
in puddles on the farm where I grew up.

Here rain seldom falls,
and only in quick downpours,
I long...

The ship has docked in Sydney harbour officials
have come and gone now the ship is eerily silent, 
yet noisy slamming of doors and someone taking
a shower…laughter. How can I sleep tonight with

In the Opera house
Is a tiny little mouse,
Everybody knows
Of the tiny little mouse,
The tiny little mouse in the
Opera house!

He watches all the shows
Sings all highs and lows,
Everybody knows- 
He likes to play banjos,
The tiny little mouse in the 
Opera house!!

The tiny little mouse
Is a superstar,
Everybody...

Sydney Inmates

Two inmates in Sydney had planned in advance
Hidden the bed sheets when they had a chance
Tied them together in a 60 foot length
Made sure they were tight and had enough strength
They planned the escape through their window it seems
And then over a wall by...
