There's a great second hand book shop in Bendigo that has a good collection of poetry books. Nice place to get lost in.. :)

Lifeline book fest last week a book of poems by Bob Pacey selling for 50 cents and If I had not signed it I could have brought it and sold it again.

Not many of those bookshops up our way Marty / Heather but they are great places to while away the time.

Down the road from little Laggan
where the Crookwell books are sold,
Marty found a book of poems
going cheap 'cause it was old.
Henry Wadsworth ― let me see now ?
Yes ! Longfellow, that's the name,
quite a pen-man in the poets'
hall of literati fame.

Oh, he'll read it, will our Marty,
read the book from front to back,
( "cause just lookin' at the pictures
is considered kinda slack )
and his poetry horizons
will extend, far off from here,
while he's sitting in the carriage
at the horse's steaming rear.


:lol: ........... :shock: :roll:
