Happy New Year Everyone

 

As a rhymer I'd be neglecting my duty

To not wish you a Happy New Year

Bate your breath as to what I might say next

To which you can say “Dear oh dear”

 

It's been bloody hot where I write from

Someone said “Hi you flaming galah”

My reaction to this as an Aussie

Is ha-bloody-ha-bloody-ha

 

(No offence Po....)

 

One fan of mine (whom I won't mention)

Said keep WOLing your thoughts though they're rhymey

We do like a variety coming up on our screen

Keep mixing your good with your grimey

 

One poet did make a nice comment

A comment which I liked, left me smiling

One that I will easily continue

She said simply “never stop rhyming”

I hope 2019 is good to you. I will endeavour to keep you entertained – from 10,000 miles away
