THE ALLAN FAMILY STORY
YOU SEE MY FAMILY WERE A GOOD CAMPING FAMILY
AND WE HAD THIS BIG ORANJE TENT, WHERE THE
FAMILY BROUGHT TO CAMPING GROUNDS, TO
ENJOY WEEKEND CAMPING, I REMEMBER CAMPING
EVERY WHERE AROUND NSW AND THE ACT
AND AS A WAY OF EXCAPING THE NORMAL LIVES
ME AND MY BROTHER PUT THE TENT UP IN THE BACKYARD
AND HAD OUR OWN CAMPING GROUND, AND I HAVE
SO MANY GREAT MOMENTS, LIKE NEW YEARS EVE PARTIES WITH LYLE
AND YEAH, I WAS LIKE A NORMAL TEENAGER, WITH SLEEPOVERS IN THE TENT
AND HAVING AN ESKY OF DRINK AND SAUSAGES AND OTHER THINGS LIKE
CHIPS AND I GOT SOME GREAT PHOTOS ME AND LYLE ARE HAVING A GREAT
PARTY FOR NEW YEARS EVE, WE CELEBRATED WITH POISON AND DEF LEOPARD
AND LYLE BOUGHT AIR SUPPLY, OH MY GODFATHER, I HATE THAT BAND
I REMEMBER WHEN ME AND MY BROTHER WENT IN THE TENT, WE WATCHED TV
AND WE TALKED FOR HOURS LIKE ME AND LYLE, WE HAD A HEAP OF ****** FUN
YA SEE I REMEMBER LYLE SAID HE WASN’T SCARED OF THE OLD BOOGIE WOMAN
AND I AM NOT SCARED OF THE OLD BOOGIE WOMAN EITHER
AND MY BROTHER LOVED TO JOKE AROUND WITH US
YA SEE, LYLE WAS ENJOYING PUTTING THE TENT UP
AND WE BOTH HAD OUR STEREOS, AND WE PLAYED GREAT TOP 49 HITS OF THAT ERA
YOU SEE, MY DAD WAS A GREAT CAMPER AND BUSHWALKER, AND BUDDHA’S SPIRIT
MADE ME INHERIT DAD’S ADVENTURE BLOOD, BECAUSE, OF MY LAST 2 HUMAN LIVES
BEING GREAME THORNE, AND PATRICK DUNBAR, BOTH KILLED AT 8
AND BUDDHA MADE ME AN ALLAN, TO KEEP ME SAFE
BUT I WAS A KEEN BACKYARD CAMPER, COOKING ON GAS BBQS
AND EATING CHIPS, AND HEAPS OF CHOCOLATES, AND ME AND LYLE BOTH WATCHED THE CRICKET
ON THE TELEVISION IN THE TENT AND NEW YEARS EVE, WE WATCHED THE GREAT
BICENTENNIAL NEW YEARS EVE CONCERT IN 1987, ME AND LYLE HAD FUN DOING THIS AS
WELL AS WATCH GREAT MOVIES ON THE VHS RECORDER,
BUT THAT ALL ENDED, WE RAGED A BIG PARTY IN THE TENT, WITH MUSIC AND GREAT FOOD
I CAN’T REALLY HAVE *** I AM NOT THE *** TYPE, I TALK ABOUT ***** DONORS
BUT ONE THING I WAS GOOD AT, WAS TALKING, WITH LYLE, PATRICK MY BROTHER, SCOTT,
AND MANY MORE, AND THE BIG ORANGE TENT WAS FINALLY BOUGHT BY A FAMILY
I THOUGHT I SAW IT AT THE ABORIGINAL TENT EMBASSY, IT COULD’VE BEEN
IT LOOKED LIKE IT, AND IT’S GOOD THAT, IF IT IS, THAT POOR PEOPLE WITHOUT A HOME
ARE ENJOYING THIS TENT AS A HOME
GREAT ALLAN FAMILY CAMPING OVER

As so many of you have had difficulty purchasing “We Walked in His Garden” here at HP, I have decided to post the book in its entirety at Poetfreak (www.poetfreak.com). I do alas have one final request to ask of you all. As this project was initially intended to benefit The Matthew Talbot Hostel, a homeless shelter that was very dear to Paddy’s heart, I would ask that you please consider making a small donation to this worthy cause. The amount is entirely up to you.
Checks in any currency may be made out to the Matthew Talbot Hostel and mailed to:
The Matthew Talbot Hostel
22 Matthew Talbot Place,
Woolloomooloo NSW 2011
Australia
If you managed to purchase the book here, I assure you that 100% of what you paid will soon be on its way to them.
Well, with this I must say goodbye for a while. I have some personal issues to attend that simply cannot wait any longer. You have all been wonderful throughout and have shown that although we may have very different ways of looking at the world, deep down, we are a family that truly cares about one another. When you think about it, there can be no greater honor to the memory of Paddy Martin than that.
Patrick

Sea gulls calling
Small waves lapping on the sandy beach
Quarantine Bay
Sleepy as the dawn breaks
Yesterday was wind, ice and cold
Today, a gentle sea breeze
The waves are whispering
Silver ribbons kiss the sand
A Sulphur Crested Cockatoo squawks
He praises the warm sun
It is lovely here
Hearts melt all over the bay
The big thaw
New beginning is long overdue

THE SHAKS ARE THE TERRORISTS GETTING THEIR OWN BACK ON THE SOUTH COAST
YOU SEE WHEN THE TERRORISTS DIED, THERE IS NO WAY KNOW TO MAN THAT THEY
AREN’T GOING TO EXCEPT DEFEAT, LIKE A COWARD, SO THEY INJECTED THEIR SOUL
AGAINST BUUDHA’S ADVICE, TO BRING SHARKS CLOSE TO BEACHES ON THE NSW NORTH AND
SOUTH COAST, YOU SEE, WE NEED TO GET RID OF THESE SHARKS, BUT THE TERROSIST
SOULD IN THE SHARKS WON’T BUDGE, YEAH THIS IS THE WAY TO TRAP AUSTRALIA
BECAUSE THEY LOOK AT IT AS BEING A FORCE OF NATURE, SO HEAPS OF TERRORISTS
WHICH ARE DEAD, YOU SEE THE HEAD TERRORIST IN CHARGE OF THE SHARK ATTACKS, IS
OSAMA BIN LADEN, SAYING AUSTRALIANS ARE SO FUCKEN GULLIBLE, YA KNOW WITH ALL
THE SHARKS, IN THE WATER, THEY WILL STILL SWIM OR SURF IN THE DANGEROUS WATERS
AND THEY MADE THE SHARK ATTACK THESE AUSTRALIANS, AND EACH AUSTRALIAN WAS
TRYING TO FIND WAYS TO GET RID OF THESE SHARKS, BUT OSAMA WON’T BUDGE
AND NONE OF THE OTHER TERRORISTS DON’T BUDGE EITHER
YA SEE OSAMA BIN LADEN IS COMING TO THE NSW COAST
YA SEE OSMA BIN LADEN COMES IN THE FORM OF A SHARK
OSAMA BIN LADEN, GETS IN THE MIND OF TWO PEOPLE ATTACKING SOMEONE IN PYRMONT
AND ALL THE TERRORISTS ARE SITTING SIPPING METHANE SMOOTHIES
ENJOYING THEIR SOULS ATTACKING THESE GULLIBLE AUSTRALIANS
CAUSE PEOPLE SHOULD LISTEN TO THE LIFEGUARD, I KNOW IT’S FUN TO SURF
BUT WE ARE LETTING THE TERRORIST SPIRIT WIN, THEY ATTACK YOU NEARLY DIE
THE SHARK ATTACKS, WE NEARLY DIE, OR DIE, TERRORISTS WIN THE WAR, IN 2014
AND WE STILL LOOK AT THIS AS BEING ANOTHER LIFE THE TERRORISTS SPIRIT HAS CLAIMED WITH THE SHARK
OSAMA BIN LADEN, IS FORCING THE SHARK ATTACKS
OSAMA BIN LADEN, MAKING THE AUSTRALIANS ******
OSAMA BIN LADEN IS KILLING US ONE BY ONE
IF THE SHARK IS THERE DON’T SWIM OR SURF
JUST TO MAKE YOU SAFE, AND CALM THE TERRORIST SPIRIT
LET’S TAKE THE SOUL OF THE TERRORISTS OUT OF THE SHARK
AND MAKE THE WATER SAFE TO SWIM OR SURF IN FOREVER AND EVER AMEN
THE DEAD TERRORISTS ARE WINNING WHILE WE DON’T LISTEN TO PEOPLE’S ADVICE
LISTEN TO LIFEGUARDS, AUSTRALIANS

Sydney NSW AU Luna Park as it once was
Tear shaped falling from the sky
Remembered dreams no need to cry
Childhood memories of large ferris wheels
Fairy floss mounted on long sticks
The jesters and their sleight of hand tricks
Roller coasters that seemed to touch the sky
Halls of mirrors in those mazes we did try
Luna Park backdrop to Harbour Bridge
Hyde park bands free for all to see
Northern Beaches before the developers came
Tore out the hillsides now not the same
Toronga Zoo Sunday outings so true
The HMAS Melbourne parked below
Those times the people where so few
Now urban density Sydney so untrue
Cross town tunnels tollways abound
Thick black haze of pollution now surrounds
Grid lock in peak hours always found
Am glad I no longer live in that surround
Living for the country air that I can breath’From the rat race I have taken my leave’
I wonder if all the computer systems failed
‘How many in the cities would survive bad Sil

Why don’t you believe in Athena
When it comes to your teeth
Well, kind sir it is because
She is the god of war and not teeth
Why don’t you worry about
The chords all around
Well, kind sir it is a safety hazard you see
You could end up dead
Why don’t you like me sleeping
In my lounge room
Especially when it is more comfy for me
Well, kind sir I reckon we all
Should sleep in our bed
Why don’t you let me have expired tablets
I think they still ****** work
No, kind sir you will ***** like mad
And end up in the morgue
Why don’t you hate me eating chicken
Well past it’s prime
Well kind sir you will end up with saminella and others and it could be your time
Why don’t you feel sorry for tourists
On border security who have two bags of
Prohibited goods
Well, kind sir it damages our land
And that isn’t good
Why don’t you fell sorry for
The people on rbt or highway patrol
Because, kind sir they drive so dangerously
Really really really
Why don’t you like our prime minister
Even if he tries to mend ties
You see, kind sir a lot of us
Are really dying like flies
Why do you want criminals to get away with ****
Well, kind sir some people didn’t do their crime
Why don’t you like Facebook and Instagram you see
Because kind sir it is social media
And you must be careful you see
Why don’t you watch YouTube
With you relatives at your house
You see kind sir we don’t have much data
And squeezes us quiet as a mouse
Why don’t you get the data
By telling the internet provider you watch YouTube so you need more data
Well, kind sir I ain’t that interested in the things you are
Why don’t you support NSW
Instead of the maroons
But kind sir, I am loyal to Queensland
More so than the blues
Why do you like the queen
And at the same time want us to be a republic
Well kind sir I like the world
And everyone and thing in it
Oh yeah bow bow
