This is a bit pre olympic and excuse the tic, couldn't help it. The time has come said the board to speak of many things Of politics and passion, how our money can grow wings We'll panel for Olympics, a committee we will be And how we'll rake the money in, or else we'll travel free A ticket for a dollar, we'll offer one or more Then when suckered in, we'll scam another thousand score We need a neutral venue, a place where she'll be right Where there's no strong union, to for the workers' fight Then one bright spark suggested Orst-rah-lay-ah land of sweeping plains So they designated Sydney to hold the Olympic games.

Apologies to my fellow Australians. There were another twelve lines I didn't post because I've no wish to be hung drwan and quartered. *laughs* "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Hi Kethry.... I really liked this piece, and I like the land in which you live!! It's a dream of mine to visit someday.....I am in love with the wildlife roaming your continent (Animals that is!!) Ha!!!! (I'd like to learn to play a digeridoo, spelled wrong I think!) Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Yes, why hold back the best part of the poem? I kept in my line about Clinton the other day, and didn't get slaughtered. Anyway, I liked your poem as it is Liz |

Ok you promise you guys. Here's Kethry with her arm twisted behind her back struggling furiously. Ok Don't say I didn't warn you. There is one little problem, we've all heard it's so that we face, to award this place, is that traffic smoothly flow No problem said a board-man, give me some graft I'll go Then off he flew to Orst-rah-lay- ah, officially greased those in the know The Olympic panel came on down, drove the route ho ho! all the lights were set on green, that car was flying low Now the panel all expectant, came to Sydney Orst-rah-lay-ah Hoped to take in all the sights but, catch the Mardi Gras Of competitor's, there was no thought, just a business deal So when I hear Olympic pride I can't believe it's real.

OK! There is one thing that I just have to say, I love the way you say Orst-rah-lay-ah I just love it. Some may say this was a little cynical, but hey, we have lived it, and seen it......Well done, challenge answered with style.P.S. I'll protect you if the mob gets too rowdy.

Thanks Eagle One I'll hide under the shadow of your wing , far from the rowdy mob. Btw I don't say Orst-rah-lay-ah like that, mostly I call this place home.
