Bring a Cushion!



BRING A CUSHION!

If you're strolling along by Throsby Creek
And your feet are getting tired
You'll think the position of this seat
Positively inspired!
You can sink back on a sofa
And view the pleasant scene.
The water blue, the shadows deep
And the trees and grass so green.
But when your 'seat' is on the seat
You may feel less content!
Fancy building a 'comfort zone'
Out of hard cement!

TOTAL ECLIPSE
July 2010

They traveled to Easter Island
For a total eclipse of the sun.
It would only last a minute or two
And then be over and done.
Once, long ago, in magical days,
Other people gathered to see
The wonderful transformation
Of the sun out over the sea.
They trembled as it blackened
And then it disappeared!
This was one of the magical things
They all so devoutly feared!
Because these were the days of magic
And science was quite unknown
They feared that the sun's disappearance
Would mean they were turned to stone!
And, sure enough, as they gazed at it,
They felt quite faint and ill.
They turned to stone while gazing
And we see them gazing still.
