Yet they tell in whispers how his ear was shot in half...
Old Bronco Don had shot him for everyone...

(my acknowledgement 
to the loose canon of Robert Frost)

An above average snowfall
heavily swathed sage heather 
followed by substantial unusual rainfall
punctuated months before, during and

delivered one of the
most hearty crop yields
in living memory...

If the farmer discards the seed,
There will be no need satisfying the seed,s need
But If he...

Ned Kelly
DNA
Kelly DNA found
throughout the land,
and down around the
Dungle Bore,
Fred Layton had a

For entry into cleaner contracts 
Is a command to avoid patched-up pacts

If in doubt about what to do,
Start up yet another charity,
And ask donors to use their credit cards,
That should ease a conscience or two.

If in doubt about what to do,

Asking that proclaimed advisor's draft
of knowledge, of a cover-up's contract
through séance of confusion, ne'er retract
the pages, twenty eight, protection's path!

As strangleweeds ghost life manifestly,
caused by an Atropa belladonna
exposé mind-bending, marijuana
bears parallel outcomes, yet, it's deathly,
Greek myth Atropos cuts the thread of life
belladonna, a woman of beauty ...

The treadmill of dissension causing force,
'twas not my earmark, not my focused gain.
A wound inflicted does not heal the source
