Clammy Poem by Douglas Scotney
Clammy
Re my tropical ulcer
on the right side of the hair
near the base of my left little finger,
(happily now under control) :
Had not S.A. been so wet,
I would, with certainty fair,
say it engendered over Xmas-New Year
in the humid Southern Up Theres of New South Wales;
Bundanoon specifically.
I didn't notice it there...
hang on, wasn't I looking for Savlon back then?
Couldn't find it, didn't ask.
With certainty fair
my ulcer engendered up there.
Southern Up Theres=Southern Highlands
Savlon=ointment
Bundanoon= 34.6661 degrees S,150.2838 degrees E
Hopefully your ok now. It's surprising these things that are around now.

thanks for your Notes; they help us non-Aussies! ! right side of WHICH hair? # 5,8, or 13? usually those things appear on # 8. this week my mate made me plunge one sore fingertip.................(she said it was infected; i disagreed) [i HAD simply tried to eat my cuticle to even it up, and ate too close for comfort]............into HOT! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! water at the bottom of a drinking mug. YIKES! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! i cheated AND almost called the police to rescue me, but i did soak the fingertip long enough in hot-enough water to do enough good that i have since been spared a repeat of my well-meaning wife's treatment. bri :)
