who's as firm as she's soft as she's strong

when you're standing by the sea?
The rise and fall of ocean swells
Sublime serenity

Planned Obsolescence

...Do you remember when a workman
Used to ply his trade with care?

Gentle Giants of the Sea

...'Thar she blows!' the cry goes up
a breaching whale is seen
The longboat's manned and low'red

in the heat of the day
when the white gums stand silent
and as time slips away?

in the crisp morning air

By the Side of the Road

...I lie dead and broken and crushed by the road
and the crows make a meal of my eyes
I no longer wander the trails in the bush
there's no one who mourns me or cries

And all who pass by are repuls...

for the city's far from nature with it's neon in the dark
The rush and ceaseless hustle leave no time for rain or drought

...On a squatter’s small selection
Not far east of Northam town
Waits a wife and her two children
For her husband to come down

In a far off northern field

...The old bush pub has seen some times
I'll wager things were good
When all it was, was sheets of tin
and rough cut planks of wood

When cattlemen tied up their steeds
to posts along the street

Farewell To the Anzacs

...All the Anzacs have faded back into the past
And the old men now rest with their mates
We can hope they play 2 up and still have a beer
Now they’ve entered the heavenly gates

We have cause to r...

And the fence posts look a little worse for wear
There’s cobwebs on the tractors that are sitting all forlorn
And a farm cat snoozes gen...
