ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

I've witnessed so many familars sights,but guess what, most of these kids turn out great citizens and mothers. I would like with your permission give this one to our local seniors paper, printed quarterly. Wollongong area only.

Thank you everyone - I don't bring this poem out much, but sometimes I think I should - for exactly the reason David mentions - you can't judge a book by its cover! I know I need reminding of that sometimes!!

Dave - yeah, some of the kids just do it as a 'group' image scenario, while others do it for more painful reasons!

Noel - I am more than happy for you to use the poem. I am always happy, if any poem touches a chord with someone, for them to use or share it.
