A a cultivator you hope he might just listen.?
A man who knows how valuble time is'
When other cockys, take the mission
Just to show the wofkings.' Look mate.)
They are not asking..You to just agree.! 
They know as do I the, land lie planned
And its where, you never want to go ya'see? Look up (agenda 2030) and think
Of the Burma campaign.' The blood and
Sweat, of your protectors, fighting in swamp and gunshots rain.' Some made it
Back to keep a farm.' Yet others never did.! Though you; enjoyed such freedom
That card, now under the deck is being slid.' And the death card is being shuffled'
In the bush city..? Why not check out the
Game.' Break out some..Bickys and tea
Old mate.? And your? Or  our? Cockys, will 
Make the any confab; real plain.'

Premium Member The perfect haggis

His name was Mr Hamish MacTavish.
He was a Scot, and his taste was lavish.
Mr MacTavish wrote a posh cookery book
So all Cordon Bleu Chefs could try to cook,
A haggis!

Hamish the Horse

Swish tailed Hamish, gloss black Stallion
Proud prize show hero bore blue medallion
Champion head turner tenacious steed

Lonely hoof stomper longed for a companion
Incidence of coinciding reserved to imagine
Narrow minded owners oblivious to his need

High knee haughty mare trotted by his enclosure
Temptation's waft overcame limited exposure
Hamish neighed a friend request,  - she agreed

Lake rippled muscle, alpha outraged neck tossed
Winner's whinny recognised chance may be lost
Breaking barriers now became a necessary deed

Chest of windswept lake assisted stable escape
Charging through victoriously, gate swung agape
Asked lady to dance, she daringly took the lead

Dust distubed finesse surpassed usual manuevres
Hamish whispered happily, " Forever, the two of us." 
Most cherished equine paradise known while freed

The Last Candle

The Last Candle

“Hamish!, Hamish!”
“Yes, my dear?”
“I am close to death I fear”
As he held her hand,
Her pleas and her pain
Were clear to understand

“Hamish!, Hamish!”
“Yes, dearest love?”
“Will I be received up above?”
As she held her cross,
Her prayers and her doubts
Were profit and loss.

“Hamish!, Hamish!”
“Yes, my flower?”
“Is my life within your power?”
As he held his stethoscope,
He bowed his head in defeat
As there was no hope.

“Hamish!, Hamish!”
“Yes, my light?”
“What is that candle in this deep deep night?”
As her hand relaxed in his
He kissed her cheek
And closed her lids
With slightly trembling fingertips.
