Yes Peely you weren't the only one
I got one to



1st Prize novice division at the
Victoria State Championships


EUCALYPTUS GLOBUS

In the years from 1870’s
Dr Sanders made some stuff
‘Twas good for man and beast
it made them rather tuff

A sniff was all you needed
to cure those bodies chills.
No need for all those potions
or those sugar coated pills

Eucalyptus Globus the plant
you steam them in a vat.
And oil comes from leaves
a creation made from that

The smell of eucalyptus
comes wafting through the air.
It’s sold in all good chemist
so people don’t despair.

Keep it in the glove box
when travelling in the car.
To hide those awful smells
that wander near and far.

Those eucalyptus bushes
they’re mighty little trees.
They make me kinda of hungry
so I’ll have eucy lolly! Please.

Well done William, Mr Emo had told me of your success.

and a well done from me too William.

Goodonya Bill, Well deserved - you are already a legend of artist, words and story.

Bill,
I suggest you post your poem in it's own right. Great to see you win one. Congratulations.

G'day Bill

It was suggested that your poem needed its own thread, so I have moved it into its own topic. Once again, congratulations on your success in the Victorian Open Bush Poetry Championships Novice Written Section.

Regards
