Sydney’s Industrial Past

ships

Where the Paramatta

And the Lane Cove rivers

Meet

Stands Cockatoo Island

A relic of an industrial past

When the shipyards thrived

1857 to 1991 

Docks built by convicts

That are now

A World Heritage Site

Would you like a Bacardi?

Can I get you a gin? 

A nice boutique variety,

Where shall we begin? 

I’ve got some Paul Masson brandy,

Some Vodka Citron,

Or, if you like Yankee,

I have some Bourbon!

My bar was set up

By my darling wife

You’ll have THE best martini,

You’ve had in your life!

France, lavender

Cycling through France, 

And the sights 

And smells of Provence 

Is thick in our heads and nostrils.

Wild herbs, 

Garlic, 

And lavender…

flowers, Japan

Ikebana, 

The art of flower-arranging
In Japan. 

Elegant, 

Beautiful,

Minimal.

Sweets!

I love a good old jelly tot,
I love a gummy bear,
I love an American hard gum,
And I’ve Licorice Allsorts to spare!
I only buy bags of nostalgia,
A box of traditional sweets,
I am big on the taste of the 70’s,
So all the above constitute treats!

love

I was 18 when I met you,
And you were 22,
I loved your sense of humour,
And those stunning eyes of blue.
We waited to get married,
Until I was 21,
But spent each day together,
Surprising everyone.
And now we celebrate our grandchild,
Whose wedding is today,
And we could make our vows again,
Because our feelings still hold sway.
I’m now an ancient 88,
And you are 92,
But I may as well be in my teens,
Because, darling, I love you.

Dalmatian Puppies

dogs

Just old enough
To have developed spots
Dalmatian puppies
One month old
Each one black and white
With its own unique markings
A rough and tumble
Of little warm bodies
In a blissful pile

Busking

guitar, music

I learned to play the guitar
From my grandpa
A gipsy flamenco guitarist
It still gives me huge pleasure
So for just a few coins
Dropped into my hat
I busk and share the joy

Morello Love

A cherry,
A heart-shaped stalk
And two ladybirds,
Together,
Inseparable,
Climbing the heights.

rainbow

A rainbow of colour,
Flushed across land and sky.
Green, yellow,
Orange, red,
Pink and indigo…
And a tree,
The one perpendicular,
In an otherwise horizontal sweep
Of technicolour.
