Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
hey ian, just stopped by to have a listen and see what gigs you're doing around. "bold reilly" sounding great! i see you're doing something of a "teesside tour" in august! i'll try and hook up with sean and get him along to one of them happy trails man
Looking forward to the repeat of the Folk Show on Bishop FM today. I really enjoyed the show Monday and listening to you! Hope to catch you live while I am there this month!
To whom it may concern, with regard to the comment below, the 'Dunny' is the Dun Cow public house of ye olde Dunholme. Just to clear up any misunderstanding....
