Artist's Impression
A very parochial entry this time.
MEREWETHER MEMORIES.
To build or not to Build
That's been the question.
Whether to retain the old Surf House,
Riddled with cement cancer as it was,
Or to build a rectangle of glass
Three storeys high
In its place.
*
'Retain the History!'
Cried the Old Surfers.
They recalled the heady days fifty years ago,
When they took their first boards
Down to Merewether Beach.
*
'Patch it up!'
Cried the Old Surfers.
They recalled the heady days fifty years ago
When they met their first sweethearts
In the Merewether Surf House.
*
'Desecration!'
Cried the Old Surfers.
*
But the old are relics too.
They have lost the battle.
It will be gone before Christmas.
*
Multitudes of pigeons
Will also feel sad.
