ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

Never got the strap at school, Never got into trouble cause I never did anything bad and the only time I did they got me mixed up with another kid and he took the strap for me.

Thats what good mates do.

But gees he never let me forget especially when i had money to spend.

I thought I was real important because they gave me the key to the fish food cabinet to look after. I was so excited could not wait to tell Mum when I got home only to have my brother pay me out because it was just a wardrobe key that are a dime a dozen.

Bob

The good ole days John.

It was the honour of being trusted with responsibility Bob. What's a dime ?????

Knowing you Bob It was lucky it weren't the lolly cabinet

down boy! grrr get back into the corner with me

Yes Neville they were. Though, I didn't realise at the time.

Provided we had love and a normal home life. Schooldays were the best--Nil responsibilities.
