Countries.! that P-ublicly C-almly R-esisted ' in fact proved
Human immunity is by its millenial disease exposed

"The flaming bowerbird (Sericulus ardens) is one of the most brilliantly colored bowerbirds. The male is a medium-sized bird, up to 25 cm long, with flame orange and golden yellow plumage, elongated neck plumes and a black tail with a yellow tip. He builds an "avenue-type" arbor with two side walls made of sticks. The female is an olive-brown bird with yellow or gold around the stomach.
The flame bowerbird is distributed and endemic to the rain forests of New Guinea . The male flame bird also has a courtship display along with its arbor, twisting its tails and wings to the side and then rapidly bobbing its head.
The flame bowerbird is rated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species."

New Guinea beauty
a fantastic sunrise bird
rare red-yellow gem
Australia looks like its being used?
To be the tip of a wedge is my peruse?
Warring groups and outside interests
World impacters are maybe the UN-guests
Mineral rich, have i read such before?
Often in history, such a descriptive sore'
Follows then a war, i say don't be surprised
Paupa's in the sights, (it didn't do covid)
And then warring alights? Destabilising inflow
Money and arms, Australia as a pawn with
False attention, an no doubt U N alarm.!!
Why not identify, whos gaining most? From
Such unrest from interior to coast' get to grip
With what is needed, peace and production
There could be seeded, protect the vulnerable
Its the better course, enquire of Jesus don't
Be left short, we all needed mothers and fathers
To be.' Yet we need even more the fruit of true
Love if you'll see, look around and see the better
Written in innocent blood within Gods Love letters.'

native to Australia, Tasmania, New Guinea
Thyacine is to Australia
What Sasquatch is to North America

in 1936

I am a frilled neck dragon, and I hail from New Guinea he bragged.
We were all intimidated by this guy who never stopped or lagged.
Until a new frilled neck dragon came into the woods in May.
My daddy’s bigger than your daddy, I heard the newcomer say.
The newcomer was from Australia, and at least another foot long.
He ate his crickets and meal worms as he sang his braggadocio song.
First frilled neck dragon got on a boat and sailed away across the sea.
I know this happened, because first frilled neck dragon lives with me.
Black and orange passerine with red eyes
In the woods of
New Guinea
They live
Belle
They
Whistles
Even have
Toxic feathers
Get the poison from the food that they eat.

I’m blunt because The Universe rolled me up this way
Once you get a hit of this, your life will never be the same.
It took a while for me to find the light, but I am starting to see why I was wired this way.
See, I’m emotional and passionate which causes even the slightest waves
To flood my brain
like the tsunami in New Guinea back in ’98.
Call me Elon Musk because I’m lit like Tesla,
I have honor unlike Edison and aiming higher than the flyer of a single-engine Cessna,
Cause I’m the mecca,
A decently good fella,
A divine soul simply operating a human-vessel,
Quite battle-tested,
Don't wanna hear your first impressions…
I look to the stars,
And know in my heart,
I won’t get very far,
If I continue to walk in the dark,
Getting burnt like cigars
At a summer ballpark,
Because after all…
Life’s so much better when you light it on fire accept who you are…
Icebox Disaster
Only living son
Home from steamy jungles of New Guinea
Wearing strips of a Master Sergeant
Tales recounted from Australia – Sydney R & R –
In spear points and javelins;
Malaria still traced upon
A war tanned face;
No more holding breath -
Four years of halting steps -
Reaching for the mail –
Cringing at the doorbell’s
Unexpected
Shrill screams,
No blue star hangs upon a window,
Relief sighs
So grateful for hugs held
Extra seconds
In reunion
Though shocked eyes hide
To see a frame so thin -
Hoping darkness covers memories
Reappearing uninvited;
House filled with booming debates
And scents of apple pie,
An icebox crammed with every good thing,
Not seen for years,
From harvest and from garden,
Visited so often
One morning screams of pain resound
As the icebox door crashes to the floor
Breaking a mother’s foot -
With no regrets
Only gratitude for family
Together again.
When my mother's oldest brother returned from war, he went to the refrigerator so often he weakened the door. One morning the door fell off right onto his mother's foot!
Just read about the passing of 39th Battalion Militia Australian Infantry WW2 soldier who together stood alone facing the Japanese when they first invaded Papua New Guinea in 1942. “Lest we forget.”
Kokoda Warrior
His breathing was becoming laboured
As his time on earth drew to an end he now favoured
Mates he marched with in those terrible days
Were calling him now to come away
Khaki uniform appears on his withered form
A brown slouch hat cocked to the side a norm
Gone now the old bones to younger ones
No more pain his time here now undone
His mates of Kokoda Track were smiling
Happily he joined them no denying
“Hey Georgy mate you in for a beer”
As they left together mates still so very clear.

There once was a nanny,* lived in New Guinea
She's spot her billy, O would she whinny
She'd kick up her feet
And then she would bleat
She'd curl the hair on his chin-chin-chinny
*A nanny is a female goat
Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Wait,
Violets are really more purple
that's why they're called "Violet",
right?
And come to think of it Roses are pink
and sometimes white and yellow
and
peach
and purple!
No!!
I thought Violets are purple!
My mother's maiden name is
Violett
but with two Ts at the end.
I think it's French,
but we're Scottish and Irish and
English
and
German,
and what about the German Violet.
It sometimes blooms white and lavender,
but isn't it better known as the
Persian Violet.
Then there's the African Violet
and the New Guinea Violet,
no
that's an Impatiens,
scratch that last one.
Stop!!
I'm getting a headache.
What
was
this
about
anyway?
Oh,
Roses are red white yellow peach purple,
Violets are blue white lavender and spelled with two Ts
(sometimes)
It doesn't sound quite right anymore.
Oh
well,
you get the idea.
Have a wonderful loving Valenttine's Day!! (with two TTs)

she came out of the sea in a transparent bikini
i sat up stunned like the guy from new guinea.
engrossed at her raw taste of invitation,
i fell for her temptation.
she took me to her home,
and we had lots of fun
with her, i was able to enjoy my life
just as i was about taking my leave,
i saw an old ugly rickety lady staring at me
and when i asked who she was, she replied:
"that is foolishness my old trash disposer"
since then, i vowed to follow wisdom,
since she is greater than foolishness.
