Found this scribbled in one of my scribble books (just of recent). . . does anyone know where it came from?

"Bush poetry is to literature what bush carpentry is to fine joinery"

Marty

It came from your scribble book Marty.

[Bob Pacey]

Yeah I reckon you had a flash of wisdom in your sleep and wrote it down Marty.

I believe it came from a modern day poet with an oversized ego full of fancy words and expressions, and who likes to write stuff that no one understands - which makes him feel important because he is the only one who understands what he is saying!!

Nothing wrong with bush carpentry - an one who can make a shearing shed and a stable that has stood for over 100 years without using a single nail has my respect. Would doubt any modern tradesman could achieve such a result.

Bush carpentry endures - Bush Poetry endures. May not always be flash and fancy but is always given grudging respect, and some even like it..

Talk about leading with your chin Manfred!

Might have been the "other" Marty - he's sneaky like that!
