With chocolaty brown
Her
shining russet hoot
covered
her
neck
Half a dozen times on the way back from Ian’s place, I stopped and lifted the lid of the shoe box to stare raptly at my…
Beautiful bantam hen
!
Of stick fast fleas
Ugh
!
But I comforted myself that my mother
Who
knew
everything!
Please god let me have a bantam
Please
!
You could never really be quite sure how my mother was going to take things
There
was
only
one way
to
find
out
Like his cricket bat
And
his football boots
What have you got in the box?
This
was
the
moment
!
It was nice to stand outside for a moment and think that none of them knew that I was going to give them
The
surprise
of
their
lives
It’d be worth it
Yeah!
You’re it!
Ask no questions
Old ally breen
Went
to
see
the
queen
!
When some of my friends must have known that I’d been up to their places on Saturday. Coooe!
Oh
,
Hungerford
!
The open ground was littered with bent and rusted sheets of galvanised iron
I
bet
it
had
been
disturbed
for
years
before
we
wandered
into
it
that
day
With his tail curving over his back like a boomerang
He would stop at the edge of a patch of pig’s face for a moment
And make us go back and back again
JUST TO SEE HIM DO IT
Perch on your head
Claw
your
scalp
And tear out your eyes
Watch him
!
Getting into trouble with a gang in Perth
They
were going into the big shops and stealing
And vacant blocks with fruit trees you could just rob if you wanted to
Our mothers and fathers went to euchre parties
And when he started to talk about girls, he…
Certainly opened our eyes
!
The new kid looked from us to the goanna and back again
Quite a few times
It’s tongue flickered in and out,
and that pale blue film came and went across his eyes
Ding! Ding!
Como
!
You knew it was going to be a scorcher
Phew
!
Milk…
Starch
water
!
There wasn’t much you could do about it
Whooaa!
And claimed another
And dropped him
And
claimed another
And
dropped
him
