MAGIC MIRROR

Merlin gave me a magic mirror
And this is what he said...
'You'll see an enlarged reflection
Of your true love's head.
The person you love most of all
Will be gazing back at you,
And I'm absolutely certain
That you'll enjoy the view.'
I carried the prize to my bedroom,
Thinking that I'd see Ned,
But I was in for a terrible shock!
I saw myself, instead!

THE WATCHERS

A sense of threat. A sense of doom.

The clouds a menace, too.

A rocky giant hovers close

And the sea is grey, not blue.

And, worst of all, two demon dogs

Keep watch on the giant's head!

Is it any wonder we scurry home

Feeling a sense of dread?

Take heart! It's an Art Exhibition.

No need for you to flee!

It's Sydney's yearly display of works,

'Sculpture by the Sea'.
