An Ageist Society

They say a man is old when he stops looking
And a woman only as old as she look
And you cannot judge the book just by the cover
Though the cover often helps to sell the book.

Some Mother's Daughter

I heard on the news on the radio today
How a young woman died in a car smash on the Calder Highway
Unmarried in her early twenties they did not give her name
Or not say where she lived or from what town she came.

The Ringtail Possum

The sun goes down beyond the western hill
And darkness comes in with the evening chill
And all day creatures gone to roost and rest
And ringtail possum leaves her leafy nest.

A True Redneck

He says he is good for the Country he goes to his job every day
And he works damn hard for a living and he's never drawn easy pay
And he is down on all dole bludgers he sees them as without a soul
Though he never tells anybody that he has two sons on the dole.

It's just like chasing shadows through the meadows in the
wind
My boss is off on holidays out cruising with his wife

The Quiet Achiever

If you don't judge and can accept other people
Irrespective of their creed or of their race
And help out others without expecting reward
Then you can make this world a better place.

True Kindness Of Heart

He always does look very sad and alone
And a laugh out of him like drawing blood from a stone
That he does not have friends no need to wonder why
That serious people do not draw people to them to him does apply

Parental Love

He would kill and eat their baby birds the songbirds seem to know
So they do their best their very best to frighten off the crow
Their babies from such an awful fate they risk their lives to save
They even mob the bigger bird they are so very brave
