ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

I have just been given the words to a poem by Ray Jaensch ? Does anyone know him and if possible a contact ?

The poem is called I Wish I Had Two Bob.


Help Please if you can One Bob

One Bob is more than enough.

Heather you would love this poem cause I know how you think.

One Bob is almost back to normal and that's pretty scarey.

Cheers Hope your ladies day went well.

Bob

You know how I think? OOh that's a bit scary - and highly improbable I'm afraid!

Ladies are all good Bob. Next week we are going to start walking for an hour before morning tea - then we don't have to feel guilty about the biscuits and dip! Smart thinking eh?

Heather

Should have worded that better I think i know how you think ????

Cheating cheating Cheating, you could never walk long enough to justify all the goodies.


But worth a try anyway !!!!!


Two Bob

Well the goodies are going to be eaten whether or not we walk so we must be in front by my reckoning.

Not a chance you know how I think bobbo!

I believe Ray is from S.A. I tried to find him to request permission to do his 'Dan Bailey's Whatsaname' but to no initial avail. Then I realised The Bronze Swagman mob should know how to get hold of him as he's in one of their old books. You could chase that up Bob. Good luck.

He's a funny blighter. That poem I did a few times is about a dairy farmer who crossed a cow with a kangaroo so he could get ready made butter or cream...I forget now.

Anyway....

Found ray thorugh his daughter in law Glenny. Now heres a quirk of fate. he is booked for a holiday on the tilt train next week and will stay at the hotel where i do my shows. Uncanny as he will be in the audience.

Do you want me to give him your contact ?

Bob

Too right Bobbo. I feel guilty as hell having done his poem in the States....but I did try to find him first. I didn't know his daughter was a solicitor? Wow.

The man upstairs works in mysterious ways Bob..ask and you shall receive...and hey presto the Author in question pops up in your audience.....now if you were to go on Australia's got Talent with that kind of magic trick Mate you'd have to be a winner.
