Don’t be afraid just to go with your dreams,
Don’t be afraid of tomorrow.
Life isn’t always the way that it seems,
Go, give the dice another throw my friend.
Though other people can’t understand,
Hope is a star shining there for you.
Go on and live ev’ry day of your life
And you’ll have set yourself free.
Sometimes dark things abound
Light fades away
Closing around
But there's always a way.
Don’t be afraid just to go with your dreams,
Don’t be afraid of tomorrow.
Life isn’t always the way that it seems,
Go, give the dice another throw my friend.
Though other people can’t understand,
Hope is a star shining there for you.
Go on and live ev’ry day of your life
And you’ll have set yourself free.
Sometimes joy disappears
Ending the day, Leaving just fears,
But there’s always a way...
Don’t be afraid just to go with your dreams,
Don’t be afraid of tomorrow.
Life isn’t always the way that it seems,
Go, give the dice another throw my friend.
Though other people can’t understand,
Hope is a star shining there for you.
Go on and live ev’ry day of your life
And you’ll have set yourself free.
Sometimes there’s only pain
Where’s life’s bouquet?
What's there to gain?
But there’s always a way...
Don’t be afraid just to go with your dreams,
Don’t be afraid of tomorrow.
Life isn’t always the way that it seems,
Go, give the dice another throw my friend.
Though other people can’t understand,
Hope is a star shining there for you.
Go on and live ev’ry day of your life
And you’ll have set yourself free.
There’s always a way.
Always a way.
Always a way.
Don’t be afraid just to go with your dreams,
Don’t be afraid of tomorrow.
Life isn’t always the way that it seems,
Go, give the dice another throw my friend.
Though other people can’t understand,
Hope is a star shining there for you.
Go on and live ev’ry day of your life
And you’ll have set yourself free.
There’s always a way.
Always a way.
Thundering above.
Both were spoiling for a fight,
With lots of push and shove.
He came at her, stiff and proud,
Fierce face quite absurd,
He flashed down from a cloud,
Yes, he was a bird!
She stood her ground, looking mean,
Sharpened claws ready,
He failed to brake or lean – or
Even steady.
Down, down he came, careless freak.
Heedless of his fate,
He opened wide his beak
And, oh, dear, mate!
Because he was just a sparrow,
Even though all heart,
Through the lion, like an arrow
Out as a little…!

They say she's like a
Summer's day.
A shrike, a flower,
A welcome shower -
A prayer that lingers from
June to May.
Alike to a song sung
In our Mother Tongue;
A story that carries through
Saint-like, as a friend true,
Stedfast, through and through:
A Lady who surpasses
June to May.

Flutter by, butterfly,
Wings of blue
Shimmering rainbows
Ev’ry hue.
Flutter by, butterfly,
Wings of green
Shimmering rainbows
Magic seen.
Flutter by, butterfly,
Wings of gold
Shimmering rainbows
Not to hold.
Flutter by, butterfly,
Wings of me
Shimmering rainbows
Flying free.
Ev’ry hue.
Magic seen.
Not to hold.
Flying free.
Wings of blue
Wings of green
Wings of gold
Wings of me
Wings of me
Wings of me
Wings of me
Butterfly.

Richard was a man
With a nasty trick:
He lived by a nasty plan - to
Make people sick.
He also was extremely capable
Of seeing quite a-far.
Sadly, this was not debatable -
He really was the star.
How he did it, nobody knows,
People got ill in dozens and scores.
Aunties and cousins and folks without toes
Fell to his baleful, distance-ignoring, sickening blows.
While nobody twigged that he was the cause.
So, did this all mean
That people, as such, would end,
No matter if they were enemy or friend?
Would it just take time
Before all would be gone,
That there would be no one left on Earth
For me to befriend?
Well, no! Of course not!
That could never, ever be the decree.
Though we know there’s coming
A getting-the-wind-up squall that’ll
Envelope us all - the ubiquitous CGP.
But, as you can see
I am here, quite well, and indefinitely me.
About Richard? And his sickness attack?
Did he achieve, for long, his horrible murderous spree?
No, he did not, his ailful glare in fact
Encircled the globe
And stabbed him in the back,
Just behind his temporal lobe.
Too late he’d learned
What’s known by
Even the lowliest worms -
And certainly by Old Nick -
Never dismiss such archaic terms as
Alas and alack!
And try your very best -
Whether God-fearing or ag-nos-tic -
To pass the gold litmus test -
And never be a Clever Dick.
Never be a Clever Dick.

Excitement was high, adrenalin flowing,
All around the faces were glowing.
Dozens - scores - hundreds streamed in
To the place, making a terrible din.
From Perth and Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, too,
And, I wouldn’t be surprised, from Woolloomooloo.
There they all were, some fat some thinner,
And Geoffrey was there to kiss the winner
Inside the building there was hubbub and noise,
Bevies of girls and plenty of boys.
Colour - sound - smells getting strong -
Everyone hoped it’d start before long!
Michael and Jenny, Geoff, Ruth, Ian and Sue
Made their way graciously to a reserved pew.
There they all were, some fat some thinner,
And Geoffrey was there to kiss the winner
The music began as our regal guests sat down,
On each head an invisible crown.
Seniors, Adults, Juveniles
Swept around and around with miles of smiles.
High up in their box the guests nodded and tapped,
Their expressions showing they were totally rapt.
There they all were, some fat some thinner,
And Geoffrey was there to kiss the winner
Out on the floor the place was coming alive,
Fox trot, rhumba, tango, waltz, jive.
Prancing, flouncing, spinning, arch,
Even a dramatic military march.
Lovely people, silken dresses and tresses,
Giving each other erotic caresses.
There they all were, some fat some thinner,
And Geoffrey was there to kiss the winner:
Geoffrey was there to kiss the winner -
Poor Geoff.
But, as they say
Back in the day:
‘All winners are grinners,
‘Whether saints or sinners.’
(As long as the task -
We shouldn’t have to ask)
Is succeeded by
The very best of
Dinners!

Australia! riding the rail across
Flat red plains.
Australia! soaring a sail across
Golden grains.
Ancient artists from dream time days
Entrancing wild things – a rainbow show
Forests of flowers, a dream time blaze Elegant buildings from long ago.

Low high hills.

Do you ever dream of flying through the air,
And watching the world so far away,
Away down there?
Do you ever dream that you could
Fly away wherever you wanted to?
’Cross hills and trees to where you’ve always longed to be.
Higher, further, stronger – go!
Lift yourself there, oh, dare!
Fly high, through the sky.

Float wherever you wanted to?

And watching the fish so deep away,
Away down there?
Do you ever dream that you could swim wherever you wanted to?
Below the waves to where you’ve always longed to be.
Higher, further, stronger – go!
Lift yourself there, oh, dare!
Fly high, through the sky.
Dream your dream.

Round and round and round it goes,
Like a bee, a bumblebee, a humble bee.
From flow’r to flow’r love grows
Silently, so stealthily.
Hearts begin to pound, astound -
But not a bee, not any bee, nor any bee
Could he paint love’s…glorious sound.
Is he a flow’r, is he a bee?
Oh, Fleurs-de-lys,
Oh, Fleurs-de-lys,
Oh, Fleurs-de-lys,
Oh, fleurs, oh fleurs, oh fleurs, Fleurs-de-lys.
Round and round and round it flies,
Like a bee, a lovely bee, a honeybee.
From flow’r to flow’r it…sighs,
In middle C, or is it E?
An elvan bee, an elvan bee –
All hearts aglow, begins to…flow, starts and grows,
But what is it, an…elvan bee?
Nobody…knows, just nobody knows.
Oh, Fleurs-de-lys,
Oh, Fleurs-de-lys,
Oh, Fleurs-de-lys,
Oh fleurs, oh fleurs, oh fleurs, Fleurs-de-lys.
Round and round and round we hum,
Not a bee, not…ordin’ry,
From flow’r to flow’r a…drummetty drummy drum,
Thump, drump…stumpingly…cleverly.
Off the ground, without a sound
Not very slow, well hello! By the…sea
Maybe we have…sinn’d, or never found -
Is he a flow’r, or the bee?
Oh, Fleurs-de-lys,
Oh, Fleurs-de-lys,
Oh, Fleurs-de-lys,
Oh fleurs, oh fleurs, oh fleurs, Fleurs-de-lys.
Round and round and round I swing,
Is he for me, my elvan bee?
From flow’r to flow’r, I sing.
Is he my destiny?
He and I, bound by a sigh.
Is that all, or do I lie in wait and see?
Can love deny, or say goodbye?
Is my dear elvan bee for me?
Oh, Fleurs-de-lys,
Oh, Fleurs-de-lys,
Oh, Fleurs-de-lys,
Oh fleurs, oh fleurs, oh fleurs, Fleurs-de-lys.
Round and round and round it goes,
A flock of bees, quite flighty…honeybees,
Just hopeful beaux, who knows -
Love…eternally?
Round and round and round it goes,
From flow’r to flow’r, higher, higher, bursting free
The lows and highs, the highs and lows -
Sometimes the flow’r, sometimes the bee.
Oh, Fleurs-de-lys,
Oh, Fleurs-de-lys,
Oh, Fleurs-de-lys,
Oh fleurs, oh fleurs, oh fleurs, Fleurs-de-lys.
AH, YON BIRD -
ARE YOU THERE…TO BE HEARD?
IS THE NIGHT YOUR OWN
SAFE WORLD?
WHILE I LIE HERE BENT, UNCURLED,
UNSLEEPING, KNOWING THAT
TOMORROW WILL BE WEEPING…
SO THAT I CAN BE A KING.
AH, YON MOON -
WILL YOUR LIGHT…END SO SOON?
CAN YOU STAY YOUR HAND
A WHILE?
AS YOU FALL BENEATH THE TREES,
SILENTLY BLACKING OUT.
COME THE SUN, PLEASE COME THE BEES…
SO THAT I CAN BE A KING.
AH, YON STARS -
ARE YOU THERE, ODIN, THOR?
LOKI, FREYA, MARS?
MY LORD?
ARE YOU ALL OR ARE YOU NONE?
ON WHOSE SIDE: HIS OR MINE?
COME THE SON, PLEASE, COME THE SUN…
SO THAT I CAN BE A KING.
SO THAT I CAN BE A KING.
