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 great songs!. I'm an audio engineer working from Central Sound Studio in Glasgow. If you are interested in recording new material in a fully equipped professional recording studio that offers great rates in a relaxed, creative environment, please get in touch! thanks
I can't believe it! The Clapping Sisters are coming to Edinburgh next week and you'll be in Germany!!!! Bad, bad timing!! And worst of all, I wanted to bring Silke to one of the Ring-Concerts and now you nearly only tour the north and the east. Ts, ts, I'll keep that in mind and the revenge will be tremendous - in April, ho ho ho!!!
