Boomerang Poem by Rex Ingamells
Boomerang
This piece of hardwood, cunningly shaped,
was curved so evenly while piccaninnies gaped
at a Warrior who chipped at it with pieces of flint,
and formed it by meticulous dint upon dint.
Outside his wurly he sat beside a tree,
and chipped at it patiently for hours - not for me,
but to kill the Wallaby in the rocky pass,
to kill the fat wild Turkey hiding in the grass.

He was sitting beside a tree not for her but to hunt the animals and birds. Is it the predicament of the deserted woman? Excellent way of presenting the theme!
