WalkaboutsVerse	Mar 19 2008 12:59 PM After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace - 2 of 230, walkaboutsverse. 741. com: 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. (C) David Franks 2003 76 of 230, walkaboutsverse. 741. com: LAND RIGHTS If there is a good thing From the Second World War It’s that most peoples learnt To conquer lands no more. In Africa, Asia, And the Pacific, too: Post-war independence - Steps only bigots rue. But for some indigenes, Outnumbered much-too-much, It has all come too late For liberty, as such. So ‘tis in Australia, And America’s sites, Where the best now, I think, Is to respect land rights. (C) David Franks 2003

WalkaboutsVerse	Dec 3 2007 2:45 AM After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace - 230 of 230, walkaboutsverse.741.com: AS GOSPELLERS HAVE SAID/CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead. A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now. In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith’s the star that we glance Attending Christ’s churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance. A... (C) David Franks 2003

WalkaboutsVerse	Oct 4 2007 5:46 AM Poem-come-song 101 of 230, from walaboutsverse.741.com: JUST SUBSIST At times when I’ve had time to take, I’ve thought of a plot by a lake: The plot would be of fertile ground; The lake would have some trout around. The plot’s house would be made of brick - Well insulated, in good nick. And round this abode there’d be built - Solar panels, kept at best tilt. Inside large coops would run the legs Of chooks and quails - for fresh eggs. A vine for grapes plus summer shade; And, in thin beds, vegetables laid. Up at dawn, to use all sunlight - Fish and farm by day, read at night. A spouse with me I’d not resist - In retirement, we’d just subsist. (C) David Franks 2003

JD and the Longfellows (on tour in May)	Sep 3 2007 9:39 AM Hey there Superb - really like the songs! Thanks for including us on your friends list. I hope that you liked the songs! As a Boston radio station said about our album......... “This isn't just the best damned drinking album of the year; it's the best damned CD to play before you go out drinking to pump yourself up album of the year” I reckon it also goes for our live show. So come along one day, see if you can drink us under the table and dance us off of the stage! Cheers JD
