SING ME A SONG’
To me she said passionately: Sing me a song
say you love me
just a song from your true heart-
I’ll readily marry thee’.
She had been seen since in town and country
Saying that to every man she fancied and had just met
The next day she stole away like the silent passing of night
Every man she happily did forget.

I never wrote NOTES to my poems as I wanted the readers to make up their minds--they are the best judges.
But here is a self-confession: since the age of 20 or so, I was lucky to have read the poems of Edward Lear--his limericks- and the comic verses of Ogden Nash and Hilaire Belloc which grasped my imagination and made me laugh about life and people--but mainly at my (stupid) self.
I took some time to write some and still do--as above.
Most poems of mine tend to be on the serious side and you my fellow-writers might imagine me as and old (true) and dour (not true) person.
Those who know me would regard me as some sort of comic character with a large content of humour and laughter.
So I am a contradiction somewhat--I am both seriously light-hearted
and deadly serious--you be my judge.
I am thankful to be within the HP circle where I have met so many wonderful and talented writers--the range and styles are amazing-
I have learnt so much and regard myself as so privileged.
My family and I have lived in Australia for two decades and we love the country very much. I am a humanist. I compose and sing a lot,
also fiddle--I co-founded an orchestra in Melbourne and founded The Melbourne Circle, both in 2013.
Key words--love, humility, compassion, tolerance, decency and fairness,
goodwill and understanding.
My sincere wishes to all fellow-writers. Please write whenever-
I retired 15 years ago and have lots of time..
