BLUE MODESTY!

Sydney boasts an Art Display

Called 'Sculpture by the Sea.'

It's held in Springtime every year

And there is no entrance fee.

Sculptors display their latest work

Out there on the open sand.

Critics stand there marvelling

Or trying to understand!

This little chap's a sculpture!

No wonder he looks quite glum!

Stuck out there for a fortnight

When he should be home with Mum.

At first he was completely nude,

With everything revealed;

But local 'wowzers' took the view

That his 'bits' should be concealed!

So someone found some swimmers

And found they fitted too!

And so that I could write this rhyme

They made sure that they were BLUE!

LOUD HAILER

I admire the sort of person who takes a stand and dares,
Dares to state an opinion about her world's affairs.
She looks an ordinary girl, not an exhibitionist,
But one so moved by the way things are that she dares to shake a fist!
Her placard's the green of the Irish, and the green of Iranians, too;
It stands for personal freedom, whatever the powerful do.
She dared to face a camera to get the result she craved.
But what has happened to her since?
I hope she has been saved.
