That's good one Marty. Lots of imagination and originality. And I like the way you built it up just from a brief news-item headline, that's a good way to stretch the poetic imagination and you have done it well I think.Pineapple Sunscreen

Re: Pineapple Sunscreen
Yeah Poem was OK Nev, I reckon nothing happens that far north so they have to look for inspiration elsewhere. If you get a chance read Bobby Millers poem about Mangoes would fit the bill for Marty to a tee.
Robert in the rain. Gonna have the cleanest shed in Queensland today I reckon, Lots of time to practice.

Re: Pineapple Sunscreen
Thanks Nev. 
Yeah it didn't get out of my head so after a coupla days I had to do something silly with it.
Where can we get a look at Bobby's poem, Robert? And what the bloody hell are you spending all your time practicing in the shed
Cheers, Marty
