ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

I'm sitting here and reading stuff from you folks on the 'Net'
Somehow you all are known to me (and yes, there's some I've met)
I feel your aspirations, read your hopes and trials and falls;
and know your journeys, like my own, will weather many squalls.

The Festive Season that we're in makes me reflect again.
So, my melancholy mood dictates that I take up the pen -
and wish you all a heartfelt Peace and ask that we recall
the object of this Season, "Peace on Earth, Goodwill to ALL!"

Wishing All a Happy and a Safe Christmas,

Manfred.

G'day Mr President,
(Hope you, and all the current committee etc, are standing again)

To you and all your clan,
Every good wish for a safe and Joyous Christmas and a successful and Prosperous New Year.

Hey Manfred - did you know that Jesus was born at Christmas and Died at Easter......what are the odds of that??

Yeah Hully,

and he only lived 33 years. (according to the Roman Census archives)

In answer to your xmas greeting, the one that I enjoy, I send it back to you members too
I know that things have not been easy in the time that has gone by in changes in the forum and the Webb page
but to you Manfred, Gregory, and Frank. A Merry xmas to you all

PS thanks Frank for our xmas mag

Bill Williams the old battler

To 'El Presidente'...

We folks on the net
here at ABPA, you bet,
are all grateful for your Christmas wishes.
May our verses all get
more miraculous yet,
multiplying like loaves and like fishes.

Cheers, Will.

Merry Christmas Manfred.

Zondrae, you're norty (I think it was you) but you did well, you're a good mod. ...

Hully, your prognostications are far to copius for a man of my diminutive intellect ... catch up in the Tdot.

Bill, you look after yourself Old Mate and have a safe and joyful Christmas ...

Will, the bait stinks and the bread is mouldy ... but your versifying is great ... keep it up

Matt, let the season treat you and yours well ...
