ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

Thelma and Lou have arrived safely in Tumut and within minutes were eaten alive by mansize mosquitoes and driven indoors by the heat. Think we might go back tomorrow.

Just a few announcements:

Terry, you left you clothes in Thelma's tent! (oops, sorry that should read, in the back of her car!)

Neville has another new hat! Psst don't give him moonshine, it doesn't agree with him.

The world really does pass by in Coolah (yawn)

Glenny (the penultimate poet) is in need of a new wardrobe!

Anyone wants to buy something for Tom for his birthday he could use some new windscreen wiper blades and a hands free mobile kit.

John, that hot TV chick wants your phone number. She's been looking for you everywhere.

Manfred, we've bought you a new fry pan. Sorry about the old one, it couldn't be helped.

Stephen was seen without his hat! Your secret is safe with us mate!

Sorry no left overs tonight Greg. .

Marty was seen without a beer in his hand.

Thelma and Lou rolled up the tent in one go! Thelma nearly drove off the road laughing too much....

Oh, and the lady that slept in her car near our tent, the heavy breathing kept us awake.

Got to go, mosquitoes on the attack again!

And to think we believed that moderators were discreet.

Don't tell Ross that I now have a real Akubra to wear with my manbag.

Oh, and we saw THE manbag! It's leather!!

It is a nice hat Neville. Suits you much better than the Russian one.

And I thought I'd been so careful not to leave anything in Thelma's tent err car.

Ps. I'm still recovering from those sleepless nights.


Terry

Did I mention the man that came banging on our tent door in the middle of the night? Sent him on his way! Sorry, can't tell you who it was! But I know Terry kept quiet in case he got a visit too.

Oh, and who was it that took "hugh's" booking at the Chinese Restaurant? Some very dodgy characters in Tamworth this past week!

Oh, and, and moderators DO wear colours other than purple! This little moderator bought herself a divine little dress in Tamworth - what a bargain hey Thelma?

And did anyone see the rooster in Peel Street? Seen everything now.

Hey Neville, it's not a real Akubra until it has some sweat stains on it!....(.that could take awhile I reckon.... )...I'm softening to the man bags Neville....not enough to carry one yet but at least a can bear to see one on a bloke now!...

Hey Heather...how do you bang on a tent door?.....no I don't want to know.....Bob will probably come up with a poem about that!

Thelma, hey Thelma, you there? YOu can explain!

Done some tent runs in my time but never tried to bang on a tent door. Ross.


I carry a digerdoona swag bag Ross only cause I need it for my tablets and it looks the part, well I think it does at least.


Bob

He was lost and he was weary spied the bed was heaven sent.
Mustered up the courage and banged upon the canvas tent.

My lips are sealed. What goes on in Tamworth, stays in Tamworth.
Hey Lou, do you really think they meant it when they said "don't come back, ever"? I told you you would get us kicked out.

No Bob, he wasn't lost and he sure wasn't weary, hey Lou?
