THE MAN OF MANY HATS

Now the words of Banjo Paterson,
With his stories humour bold,
Like, The Man From Snowy River,
And other poems he told.
It was often said that Banjo,
Was a brilliant horseman too,
You'll remember ' Salt Bush Bill',
And Clancy's visions true.


I have heard them been recited,
By the poets on the stage,
And felt such great enjoyment,
By this latest Banjo rage.
Gregory North who hails from Linden,
Is an act that you should see,
And is really now quite popular,
With his new-age poetry.


Of the four-teen changing accents.
Expressed in verse and theme,
These poems by favourite authors,
Are held in great esteem.
The echo sound of 'Corryong'
To our , Man From Snowy River,
Words penned by those old masters,
Greg truly can deliver.


You'll laugh till your in stitches,
He can really make the day,
With such a sense of humour,
And talent too , I'd say.
At the festivals round the country,
As you travel back and forth,
You'll enjoy the entertainment,
Of our poet, Gregory North.



(c) Duncan Williams. (Tamworth)

Good to see you posting something Duncan. Good work.

Bet Gregory is chuffed by this one Duncan well done,

Think this should be written as being

I have heard them been recited,
By the poets on the stage,


and here this should be you're - as it is abbreviation for you are

You'll laugh till your in stitches,
He can really make the day,


Only minor things you might want to fix. I liked this poem Mate

Cheers
