The winner takes it all - a original poem inspired by the song by ABBA
I played my part, I gave my best,
Yet unlike me, you did it effortless,
No trophy to hold or prize to claim

As if my

Now where does a tottering novice start
As he pens such a crystalline work of art,
To honor champs in grave's dark repose,
And

Tropes On My Island
Tropes On My Island
To go to Tonga like this had not been my plan
Recommended though it was on the lonely planet
Om mantras were now my only companion
Planting seeds in my inner world and mind
In the interest of survival fire rubbed from sticks
Condensation separating salt from water
A salt water crocodile kept me on gritted toes
