Peter Brock (1945-2006)

Though good memories of him with motor racing fans will live on
He cannot be brought back to life he physically has gone
From the cares of life his car crashed into a tree
And as for his co driver how lucky is he

Barcroft Boake (1866-1892)

He died as a young man did not grow old and gray
Hung himself with his stockwhip long with the dead he lay
He would have developed into a great poet those who know of poetry say
But with sadness weighing him down in life he lost his way.

Sad Faced Dan

His heart is full of stress by stress he is weighed down
The one known as sad faced Dan the saddest one in town
He never laugh or smile he never crack a joke
He must not like the World he seems a sad poor bloke

September In Her Finest

The sun is brightly shining the frogs sing in pond and drain
These shy and tiny amphibians their songs tell us of rain
And Spring is all around me the beauty of the Spring
The wattles in their yellow flowers the birds whistle and sing.

And his type of person not rare.

The grey shrike thrush whistles on the wattle bough
I wonder in some fifty years from now
Will somebody one of his descendants hear
Sing in the wood in the Spring of the year?

A Gift To All Women

He thinks he's a gift to all women at least that is what he believe
But thought has proved him wrong as usual for himself he only deceive
The most narcisstic person that i know himself he does only delude
Most women do not find him attractive and his chat up lines to them seem rude.

The Man From Caramut

He has slept in a tent and in a swag and he has slept in a hut
But never in a hotel or motel the man from Caramut
And out there in the outback he often sleeps in his car
A young man in his thirties from home he does live far.

Her Toy Boy In His Thirties

She has had a couple of face lifts with hair dye she covers her gray
But clearly she is ageing she has known a better day
She does look well for her years but no turning back the hands of time
The Seasons pass so quickly for us no second prime.

Those Who Call This A New Country

Those who call this a new Country they sure have got it wrong
It was old in the Dreamtime the time of dance and song
When the Indigenous people had their corroborees
Up there by the high woodland in the shadow of the trees
