Now Dave The old Wood Stove in the Kitchen has been posted here already - in Users poetry look and you made a comment on it on Friday which was yesterday - that was you wasn't it.

Yes Maureen that was me and having read this poem I would like permission to use it therefore does any one know how I can make this happen.

Cheers.

G'day Dave

I would suggest that you send a PM to Duncan Williams regarding Gertrude's poem - he knew her quite well, both of them are from Tamworth.

Merv Webster (aka "thestoryteller" on here) mentioned that he knows Chris Long, so you could send him a PM too and he might be able to help you out there.

Cheers John thanks.

If it's the same Chris Long from Edmonton (just south of Cairns)?

I know him.

Marty

G/Day Marty I think it is, I would like to contact him.

What do the Kids think of the poem and do they have any lines to add?

TTFN

Morning Mr Smith,

I spoke to Chris this morning and he said "go for it, mate".

I've sent his email via pm so you can contact him directly if you wish. Along with the kid's caveats regarding their collaboration with yerself

Cheers, Marty
