How I remember times way back when The places I went and the things I did Oh, to live those times all over again The freedom of youth and being a kid With my family, I traveled lots All through the outback and everywhere We would stop at heaps of picnic spots In random places … Continue reading Playfully Young

Adoption
The moment I laid my eyes upon you I knew that this was definitely my cue You had already entered my heart I vowed then, we'd never be apart We haven't met yet, and you don't know me But I'll be your new mum and you will see You'll become my child, a part of … Continue reading Adoption
My Favourite Seasons

Old Rules
He's good to me, provides for me and loves me... I think... If he leaves me, my heart will sink He tells me so, every day all the time So I obey him, his rules sublime I must ask permission if I go out And if I don't, I'll cop a clout I can't call … Continue reading Old Rules

An Ode to Boris Karloff
Oh Mr Karloff, I can't help but ponder Of you're ancestry, a true wonder. A famous great aunt... did you ever know? One special woman who has left such a glow. Did you ever know of Great Aunt Anne? The one who worked for the King of Siam?
A Sticky Web
"Come into my parlour said the spider to the fly", a poem written by Howitt in 1829 Could she predict a century later, we'd all be connected and online?
