Hello? Are you there today?
Have I scared you away?
Spent my whole teenage life, 
Preparing for this day of strife

creating no ripples in deep blue waters
sneaking calmly upon jittery preys

When the cows come home to roost,

It’s time I wrote a rhyme,
	until yesterday returns to pass!
If bats in the belfry stay sleeping,
	until the clock strikes the noon of day,
Tis then...

THE BUG BITES –AGAIN!

We begin to get restless,
And know that feeling
The one when our heads
Start reeling!
It’s time to visit the Kruger Park,
Although sparse rain, and
The bush will be stark!

And hearts thumping,
We arrive 4...
