Bush poetry in India

[David J Delaney]

looks like I might have to learn Punjabi... my book & poetry is making great in-roads into India now...also have a radio interview on the 25th October on SBS for the Indian program, this segment not only is broadcast in Oz but is transmitted throughout the major provinces of India....

So best you make a start on your bollywood style dance moves in case called upon for public appearances. What what the Indian population is going to make of some of our Australian terminology - hate to think how that will appear once translated.

Oh velly good book Mr Delaney sir
velly good it is indeed
and velly good food you are eating out there
though of curry I perceive a need.

You have lots of भेड़ा (sheep) and for curry that’s good
they make quite a flavoursome feast
but Mr Delaney sir please do explain
what is this thing? This नदी की वह शाखा जो आगे चलकर समाप्त हो गयी हो ( billabong) beast

and just in case you want to practice your dance technique this should be helpful - keep taking those fish oil tabs as lots of lubrication is required - maybe XXXX might be better

Good on you Dave for spreading the word although I suspect much will be lost in the translation here

Cheers

Thanks Marty, no worries Maureen "dair is berry many who speak a gooda eng-a-lish"...there won't be any translation except for part of my interview....

Goodonya Dave . . . give 'em curry, ay.

Don't tell me you've cut yourself in on Julia's uranium deal . . . after all, it is, as well as your book "Out of Australia" is it not?

I'm on the bandwagon too - off to write a poem about Sachin Tendulkar's OAM

Great stuff mate,

Cheers, Marty

[David J Delaney]

Thanks Marty, they can keep their curry, it's not for me mate & I'll make sure not to wear my high heels when visiting Ghandi,s grave.....

Thank you Duncan, I had a sneaking suspicion I wasn't the only one with works over there..
