Once Upon a Time Everything was Perfect in Eden, NSW, Australia

This is a story about why snakes are reluctant to leave whenever you see them. 
Why they hang about, instead of scurrying off.
A reluctant snake...

This is one excited kid and one PROUD father...



I took my son to the lumberyard last Tuesday afternoon. The day itself, though toasty, was the best in quite some time.
And when we’d finished shopping -...

A Bagpipe am I,
My drones point to the sky!
I am magic they say, since the wizard ‘spelled’ on me that day.

He gave me the gift of immortal time,
I could travel through centuries,
T’was a gift.
It was...

Janus Face

Chaotic dialect set-off back-and-forth
Two contrasting characteristics 
One is proven to be duplicitous
Political backing of the other party
Now denies it
A refusal that of a true statement

The waves rise slowly and surely a storm is on its way,
A day of innocence equating beauty,
For tomorrow may...

so many struggling,
against time, against odds.
I feel free,
almost floating,
comfortable, like flannel.

I watch them closely,
straining to see past.
Why are they so diligent?
Why the stress?
That must be someone important for so many.

I hear orders...

Turning on the TV
Wonders how they do it
Why they need to flee
Is a matter you know your mother wit

When the world is calm
Somewhere out there needs your help
Who could hear them, and make becalm

			Some little boys like dinosaurs
			Close the windows, shut the doors,
			We don’t want any dinosaurs 
			 Coming into our indoors.

			Some little boys like Billy goats.
			Hide your coats and...
