An old silent pond
A frog jumps into the pond, splash! Silence again. Falling to the ground, I watch a leaf settle down In a bed of brown. |
What am I?
Green and speckled legs, Hop on logs and lily pads Splash in cool water. In a pouch I grow, On a southern continent, Strange creatures I know. |

Advance Australia Fair
By: Peter Dodds McCormick.
Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in Nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history's page, let every stage
Advance Australia fair!
In joyful strains then let us sing,
"Advance Australia fair!"
When gallant Cook from Albion sail'd,
To trace wide oceans o'er,
True British courage bore him on,
Till he landed on our shore.
Then here he raised Old England's flag,
The standard of the brave;
With all her faults we love her still,
"Brittannia rules the wave!"
In joyful strains then let us sing
"Advance Australia fair!"
Beneath our radiant southern Cross,
We'll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing
"Advance Australia fair!"
While other nations of the globe
Behold us from afar,
We'll rise to high renown and shine
Like our glorious southern star;
From England, Scotia, Erin's Isle,
Who come our lot to share,
Let all combine with heart and hand
To advance Australia fair!
In joyful strains then let us sing
"Advance Australia fair!"
Should foreign foe e'er sight our coast,
Or dare a foot to land,
We'll rouse to arms like sires of yore
To guard our native strand;
Brittannia then shall surely know,
Beyond wide ocean's roll,
Her sons in fair Australia's land
Still keep a British soul.
In joyful strains then let us sing
"Advance Australia fair!"

Ode To Duty
Stern Daughter of the Voice of God! (a) O Duty! if that name thou love (b) Who art a light to guide, a rod (a) To check the erring, and reprove; (b) Thou, who art victory and law (c) When empty terrors overawe; (c) From vain temptations dost set free; (d) And calm'st the weary strife of frail humanity! (d) There are who ask not if thine eye (a) Be on them; who, in love and truth, (b) Where no misgiving is, rely (a) Upon the genial sense of youth: (b) Glad Hearts! without reproach or blot; (c) Who do thy work, and know it not: (c) Oh! if through confidence misplaced (d) They fail, thy saving arms, dread Power! around them cast. (d) By: William Wordsworth |
Ode To A Prawn
Sweet tender Prawn have ere you been Deep in the bowl of soup tureen Perhaps it’s I who’ll grant your wish To fatally be my tasty dish Your shell of green will go to red As deep into the pot you’re fed Until your movements have all stopped And from its case your flesh is popped And once released from shell’s confines You may feel stabs from fork’s sharp tines Or from our fingers down you’ll go To waiting bellies far below But not before I see you dressed For I would not have you distressed To go forth naked to the room So I’ll apply a fruit’s perfume With lemons yellow from the tree Your flavor will I soon set free And all around will soon delight To see your face at meal tonight And there you’ll be for all to see With butter sauce and green parsley And what a sweetened sight you’ll make Before the first sharp bite we take What joy you’ll bring to waiting lips That lick your juice from finger tips The smiles you bring you won’t believe So don’t feel bad or start to grieve Perhaps you will not share our bliss And feeding time you’d rather miss But how can swimming ere compare To dancing with our dinnerware So join your partners as they swim In boiling waters deep and grim So that tonight you’ll look your best When you will be our dinner guest K.M.
