1176

the Woolstore Australian Made All Schools Botany Book 1966

go back to the crooked line

to the jagged star

map of Christmas

pitter and pater were two little raindrops

a plum rolled down the hill

all these states

where did I stop to draw?

and why?

and how did the line take off?

so many countries our Commonwealth is

often the spelling is odd

you can’t hear

my dictionary began with

A baby

then we went on to beef

and Beet is a vegetable

bent is a kind of curve

things that flew

times tables

ten was a synch

             a cinch

             sinch

just add nothing

so many things invented then

not least the pom-pom mobile

(calls to the patent office

from a number with letters)

a lovely pair of Japanese slippers

I, anatomically correct

not a thing glum

but where was my best work?

from smoke as ink

we somewhere rise

radio so few tunes

way to school through the unbuilt bush

there had to be a stillness

winter made it far

sat on the heater first to arrive

only the queen could see

I knew the world

a beautiful place

the beautiful place  

for me
