Australia
by Charles E MinshallWombats and Aborigines
Kangaroos and indigenes,
Australia's a different
Kind of place.
The outback, the billabong
And weird things
That hop along. Australia
Has a different kind of face.
I bet Australians
Are glad for gravity,
I know I'd be thankful
If they were me. 12/10/2005 Author's Note: All accross Australia everything is looking up....Charlie

My oh My!
Where would those kangaroos
and wallabies be
if not for Newton's gravity?
ooooooh, that's bad! ;-)

| Posted by Steven Kenworthy on 12/11/05 at 07:04 AM this is a wonderful light-hearted and refreshing break from the heavy we so often see on this sight. a playful piece that makes me want to jump ship and head for the great outback. a pleasant read indeed! |

This reminds me of Dean Martin'd definition of being sober ie: "I'm sober as long as I can hold onto the floor, lying down." Yes, we do thank God for gravity... |
