Ballaraat’s known for its bounty of gold,
and the days of Eureka Stockade,
plus winning horses, on racing courses,
where flanks of the horses are flayed.

And the offer of prize is a bountiful one,
for a winner that’s greeting...

the smaller 
sentient sapient, 
strange little creatures
of large stature visiting,
just like
I am, 
visiting,
that...

The Great Race   June 6,2015

Dress is unimportant.
At least today.
I can arrive at the local bar and grill 
in old gardening jeans and t-shirt.

We'll order a mid-afternoon sandwich.

I don’t get it. They confuse me. The psych of a woman. 
Her needs, her wants, her desire.
One day she’s happy, content and in bliss. 
Then the next, she’s a blazing wild fire.

My questions: Chocolate...

Initiating the steps to a beautiful...

And that can be lots of fun I claim

Standing beside the rusted rail, assessing the parade
For the eyes of a hardened ballerina.

Horses stand waiting
Some face the wrong way
Jockey's with colours
Astride are they

They await the starter
Who runs up the tape
Equine line up
Await their fate

Two circuits ahead
Once your over
The fence you have read

The crowd cheers
As they are...

We all backed a different horse
None of us won, how come

The foothills of The Ozark Mountain Range
For centuries the springs were the big draw

What do Australians do well?
At the football we really yell,
All sports have cast their spell,
We are all quite laconic,
With work, it's really platonic,
We love a long weekend,
We wish holidays never end,
We even have a public...

Here is a question from a bard, such as I!
