Nails in the Mango Tree

[Peely]

Yay John!!! I'll have to fix that up hey? One day, one day ... not a priority right now.

Regardless of that Kym, it is still a great poem. We will all be looking forward to seeing the result when you do find the time to fix it up.

Regards

"Proper" ain't no fun. Where is your sense of adventure Kymmie?

[Irene]

Hey Kym - do I get a virtual caramello for the missing unstressed syllable at the beginning of line 1, stanza 5?????
Just joking!!! Great poem - and I know you have lots and lots of truly wonderful serious poems!!!!
But hey yeah - the streaker poem is great too!!!

Catchya

[Kym]

Aahhhh IRene!!!!! I never saw that either!!!

I'm going to put a horsie poem on now ... la lala lala laaaaa .....

[David J Delaney]

I also remember this one from the ABC comp. I like it just as much now as I did then (dispite the little indiscretions)

Did you see my (sort of) horsie poem 'His Last Muster' it is still an ongoing work though.

[warooa]

Yes I remember hearing this one read out on the radio in the ABC comp, too, thinking 'Wow . . whoever wrote this can write' - goodonya Kymmie . . . and I dunno about your streaker poem, but I still got a copy of your "TROUSER SNAKE" poem.

Looking forward to more of your stuff . . be it old or new (or even a slight tinge of blue)

Cheers, Marty

[Kym]

No Marty. No you don't. I don't write rot like that. Never did. No way. Not me. Don't know what you're talking about.

I only write proper non-embarrassing stuff.

[Neville Briggs]

There's nothing " wrong " with your poem Kym.
It's well done.

I take this opportunity to disrupt your thread for a moment, I think you were after a book on Aussie expressions. I see there is a new book out now by Hugh Lunn called " Words Fail Me ", check it out it's a great collection of aussie quirky sayings.

Sorry about the interruption. As I was saying great poem.
