ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

I don't mean to have a go at anybody here, but I found these line dancers very unconvincing. They seemed diffident. Lacking in confidence and conviction. As though they were practitioners of a highly unfashionable art. Almost embarrassed to be there. I would love to have had a chance at coaching them myself. I reckon I could have injected some crispness and self-belief into their routine within a few months. "Get those knees up girls. Throw those hips out."

... VERY SCARY - THEY BREED!!! ... then they'll grow old and wrinkly

G'day Stephen,

There is nothing so beautiful as a mob of Shielas, dressed in tight jeans and high heel boots, dancing in the street.

Do you know my Macquarie dictionary does not have a listing for 'shiela'. How is a conscientious poet supposed to check their spelling? or is it sheela?

Try Sheila!
