YOU DON'T SAY!


'Have you heard?'
'What! Where was his wife?'
'Well I never!'
'As they say, that's life.'
'I wasn't surprised'.
'Don't pass it on'.
'I heard it from Elsie.'
'And then he was gone'.
'The same dress exactly!'
'Well, it was absurd!'
'I just couldn't credit it!'
'Don't say a word!'
'The innocent party!'
'It just didn't fit!'
'Well, I never gossip'.

'Well, maybe a bit'

GRANDMOTHER'S GARDEN


In the Hunter Valley Gardens there are beds amassed with roses
And there we find these children in a myriad of poses!
Figures cast in bronze cavort upon the tended grass
But a lady made of flesh and blood attracts us as we pass.
Her husband was the benefactor who laid-down the whole park,
In business enterprises he had always made his mark.
And when he planned the Gardens as the zenith of his life
He kept a special area to pay tribute to his wife.
Here she is surrounded by grandchildren having fun;
When the next one comes along they add another one!
She must be very proud of this, her own especial place.
I'm sure, if you look closely, you'll see a smile upon her face!
