Paul Warren Poems

Old times with old friends forever remain
Close to my heart in my life's refrain
The smile on your dial can't subside
And I take and look back with a sense of pride
...

I once had a comrade and served by his side
In the good times and bad in a sense of pride
But those days are now gone but sorrow remains
When I remember those times in a sweet refrain
...

Australia is the place for me
The wide brown land and blue sea
The people smile and laughter is king
We have all that God can bring
...

During World War Two the RAF dropped leaflet papers
On the German occupied Europe in intelligence capers
They told the captured countries of the Germans taking food
And also fake German ration cards to ruin their food distribution as it stood
...

It happened on dust bowl road or so they say
Just outside Melrose town in the country way
When an old goanna climbed up onto the wire
And decided to take a bite as his hunger did desire
...

Australians have language dialects that stand out
In each state their speech is different about
But they say we South Australians are different now
And are more British in the way we annunciate each vowel
...

In the middle of the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia
I came across a man whom wasn't a failure
Who would have known on an Outback track
We would have come across an Eskimo as a fact
...

What is your number in your call?
The one you remember that is your all
Is it the number when your unfold your fist
That is five that seems natural in your gist
...

When I sleep they come to me
The people whom I once did see
Standing and playing their roles again
These people whom I knew once then
...

Does everything have to be for something
Will what you do or say mean everything
Are you going to be brought to account
Even when you think it did not amount
...
