WEEKEND IN BLACK AND WHITE
REFLECTED GLORY
When the sun's rays choose to pass
Through a barrier of glass
Shadows, patterns, shapes appear
Making the sun seem much more near.
Sometimes things that are man-made
Add to the charm of sun and shade.

GOLD MINE!
Just supposing your Great Aunt Agatha,
A lady of extensive means,
Left you in her inheritance
A pile of old magazines!
I supposing you thought her a skinflint,
And didn't vote many thanks,
Because all the other relations
Had money to put in their banks.
And supposing you leafed through your bounty
And found a copy of this......
You'd look up to the Heavens
And blow old Auntie a kiss!
'The Yellow Kid' only flourished,
(And take note of the date),
From 1897
To 1898!
A copy is now worth thousands,
Maybe millions for all I know!
"Many thanks, Aunt Agatha,
From your nephew here below!"

A group of us went down to Sydney yesterday to see the musical version of 'An Officer and a Gentleman'. The newspaper reports had not been encouraging but, maybe because of that, we were all pleasantly surprised with the show, and rather sorry that it is not to have a longer run.
The 'military' dance numbers were excellent.
