Poem Number 193 - Self-Organised Blind Date - 31/12/1986

It t’was just a night or two ago,

I decided to call up an ex-girlfriend of the past.

And in so anxiously doing so,

I was just a wee bit saddened of her residential move.

Demanding for Lisa’s new residential details,

And with kindness and courteously, I got it!

Thinking twice before phoning the new phone number,

To hear Lisa reply with a little shock and a little anger.

And to my surprise, Lisa wasn’t there!

She had decided to stay at her parents place in Coonamble,

And she wouldn’t be returning to the flat,

Not for a month or little, so………

While a cheerful young lass kept conversationally: filling me in,

And then me, asking her little private questions to this lass,

And with laughs and cheers,

I asked Julie, whether she wanted to go out with me?

I’ve never asked some girl, I don’t know well,

To come out and have an enjoyable night.

Just a bunch of roses I will give,

No sexual desires no intimidations give her with!

Julie, however your looks are in everyone’s eyes,

My own eyes can see through this phone, in sweet pretty colors,

Shape, size and looks are not my main attraction in a girl,

It’s her talking voice and kind of personality, she shares. 

Poem Number 192 - Catherine: A Sweet Young Cousin - 6/12/1986

For Catherine with millions of smiles galore,

Is such a sweet young-minded cousin.

For I have not met all my cousins in or of France,

But for when I do, I will be keen to have more than a glance at Catherine.

As a sensible mature young lady of admirations,

Her traditional beauty is the good companionship she shares with everyone.

Her wonderful personality rises to show the kind and generous heart she was,

While comfortably laughing and enjoying family and good friendship.

With the wide range of interests and hobbies,

From tapestry-knitting, to the pleasure of horse-riding,

To reading, to bush walking (not on her own),

Catherine can bring a beautiful worldly picture, into the limelight.

Being a family girl since she was born,

To previously meeting her aunty and her cousins,

To keep on writing and talking to each one,

Until one day Catherine arrives here, to meet me.

I hope that that my vocabulary is quiet good,

I hope my character will show good.

I just really hope I don’t cry (with happiness),

When all: Catherine, Lucette and Andre arrive in Australia.
