Sorrowful Water

WATERY WEDNESDAY

SORROWFUL WATER.

High in the Snowy Mountains Lake Jindabyne is found

And if you listen carefully you'll hear a mournful sound.

It's the sound of a village crying, I'll be bound.
*

High in the Snowy Mountains Lake Jindabyne appears

Covering habitations of the former lively years

And if you taste the water, you'll taste tears.
*

Sailing across Lake Jindabyne and gazing in the deep,

You seem to see the village in its everlasting sleep.

Don't fantasise too much or you may weep.
*

A brand-new lake is picturesque and pleasant in design,

And on a sunny evening all the rippling waters shine

But it's a shroud for a town called Jindabyne.

GUESSING GAME!

Alfie met Doug in the street, and he couldn't understand

Why he was taking such great care with the bag held in his hand.

'What have you got in your paper bag? Is it something I can share?

Come on! Be a sport, old chap! What have you in there?

'I've got currant buns in here' said Doug.'I bet you'd like a bun.'

Said Alfie 'If I guess how many you've got, will you give me one?'

'Why!' said Doug 'If you guess right I tell you what I'll do....

As a reward I'll go without

And give them both to you.'
