GOODBYE WINTER
For winter, time is almost up
I take a sip from my coffee cup
The grass has grown very long
Neglecting it for weeks turned out so wrong
Mowing the grass is definitely a plan
And eventually it will look spick and span
Or I could just call a lawnmower man
I’ll hand over the responsibility
Then I can relax and have a shandy
Half lemonade and half beer, that’s how you make it
There’s no need to stir or shake it
I’m happy spring is almost here
It is my favourite time of year
Spring is the time for planting and sowing
Time to watch the vegies growing
All the flowers start blooming too
Spring is the time for everything new
All of the sights and sounds it brings
The sun is shining and the birds will sing.

Mother Nature works with positives and negatives
there are those who hunt, and those who are hunted
and there are those, who eat fruit and vegies
while spreading the seed of nature, when they have to go to the dunny
but humans just hunt and spread, the evil bloodline of MONEY

HE LEADETH ME
The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want,
He leadeth to lose Corona virus weight gain,
and to keep it off for my health's sake.
He causes me to remember
to drink water instead of sweet drinks.
He maketh me to lie down when tempted
to indulge in ice-cream and cheesecake.
He leadeth me away from cookies and pies
and into the paths of salads and vegies.
My head He anoints with oil free dressing.
A table is prepared with low-cal foods,
as forbidden ones are my enemies.
Surely this weight loss shall follow me
all the days of my life and I will dwell
in the land of misery and hunger
forever

STRESS FREE DIET
I've found a stress free planned diet,
It sounds so good I shall try it
Chocolate is claimed for calming the mind,
Eaten daily less stress I should find.
Breakfast, chocolate spread thickly on bread
A chocolate milk shake to clear the head
Lunch-time I'll try to be chocolate free,
so will wait until afternoon tea
Afternoon tea cannot come too soon,
No chocolate eaten lunch-time at noon
I've now withdrawal pains in my guts
I need some chocolate raisins and nuts
At night I'll have a healthy dinner,
steak and vegies will be a winner.
Then follow with a cheesecake dessert,
a chocolate one made by an expert.
This diet's had a calming effect
It's more than I could ever expect.
No sneaking around chocolate to find
I've found a cure for a stress free mind.
If you're in need to become stress free,
Just follow this plan, it worked for me.
Eat chocolate, never miss out a day
it's the best food; what more can I say.

When drought hits hard
in the land of plenty
it takes time
for the reality
to sink in
whilst we drink our
pre church latte'
we ask God to bless us
for we are your faithful servants
we think we deserve
for our God to bless us
and He does
in His own way
the ignorance, however
is perplexing
rantings about sheep
dying on boats
not maximizing
the inputs in
the feedlots
commodities sliding
the stock market indicators
at the cafe after church
the message gets dissected
the hermaneutics
we think were right
a great steak or lamb roast
is consumed with
baked vegies
out in the paddock
livestock struggles
dies in the thousands
the rains did not come
in time for fodder
complaints about the
prize of meat
reverberate
perhaps it is time to wake up
to the reality of
how the drought hits
in the land of plenty.

Crisp air
snuggling into my scarf
shuffling through the snow
off to get the mail i go
As i flip through the Christmas cards
I notice there is one from Santa.
Oh how excited the boys will be
to see that Santa has sent a letter to me.
I tell the boys "see Santa's been watching."
Asking "do you think you've been naughty or nice?"
Oh how they want to see
but i say "this letter is addressed to me."
All day my little drummer boys played
Listening like angels; no fighting
Ate their vegies, brushed their teeth
Hoping just to get one peek.
Tucked in and ready for sleep
"Please mom just one peek" they squeeked
As I kissed them on cheek
"Maybe tomorrow now go to sleep."
As i lay in bed, ready to call it a day
I open the letter from my Secret Santa an read
Tears streaming down my face
Help from another that i do not know
3 gift cards fell into my hands
They have thought of everything
toys for boys, food for mouths and clothes for all of us.
Our Secret Santa has blessed all us.
Asking for nothing, just lending a hand
Always give when you can

This poem is written by my 10 year old cousin and myself
One day in candy village
Wait wait wait…
Let me tell you how this story actually began
It was any of day on the little place we call earth
The peeps called it candy village
Because it was an easter candy heaven of celebration
Yum yum yum
Chocolate eggs of plenty
Skittles of rainbows
But lets not forget that
Marvelous easter egg hunt
Also the houses were made out of candy
Peeps got cavaties but no dentists so there was the fruits village
When you go there you go to the king of all fruits
He gives you a bite of the sweet good apple
Yum yum yum
Then no cavaties for the rest of your days and your candy village life
Shhh
Lets not forget
The vegetable village
?:)?
The vegies the vegies the vegies
There everywhere you look
There the infested
The zombies of this world
Are u eager to see
Guess not
No comply given to a simple question
Then how would we make our candy village complete
I think our candy village is the best of all
The end

Annually the garden
provides the results
of one’s labour--together
fresh vegies and fruit
a gift of heaven,
to you Lord
thanks
