Maidie remembers …
At nine years old –
72 Derwent coloured pencils
in a tin box,
a just ripe mango,
and a newly minted
$2 coin –
her best Christmas
ever.
– Catherine Skipper
Whilst Driving from Maroubra to Redfern
Why do we’s-es chop down trees-es?
Why do us-es spoil the buses?
Why let narks wreck the parks?
Why do we need WestConnex?
To reach the Race Course, of course
And the Stadium, what tedium!
Even the cricket makes me sick-et
And the footy makes me snooty
Let’s save the trees, please!
– Flim Flam
Always in My Heart
Always in my heart, a voice
Shows me my every wrong
Reaches the depths of my heart
When I am hurt, it moves strong
When I am hurt, it moves strong
It moves strong
I feel your spirit pulsate
I draw my strength from your love
One true spirit in the world
At times, I think it’s from above
At times, I think it’s from above
It’s from above
It’s from above
– Duncan Wilkie
