Love it Marty - well done - cranky sheep are the pits

You are getting very descriptive now Marty - it's good.

I want to know how Hat Cracker got his nick name.

Nothing wrong with poetic license - the only one you don't have to pay for.

Yeah good one Marty . . . great to get the guts of the Laggan shearers yarns from across the bar.

Cheers, Marty

Bet this one goes down well at the pub Marty, great when you can write the story in a poem and all the listeners are in on the story.



Good one mate.


Bob

yeah i know what you mean I'm working on one for a big tough bloke who's sister says he is scared of frogs.


This is a bloke who will not hesitate to grab a brown snake and whip crack it but chuck a green frog at him and he freaks.

That looks pretty good Marty. It would be easier to read if you worked on the punctuation a bit I don't think that punctuation should be a hoop for writers to jump through it's an aid to the reader to receive the message better.

That looks better I think . I don't think there are rules for commas, I reckon they just go with the feel of the rhythm, so I guess some people have different ideas of where commas should go. You reminded me of thoughts about inverted commas for speech, I'll put that question in the discussion page.
