A little Leunig

goes a long way.

One of the best writers to come out of Australia is Michael Leunig with his poignant yet funny outpourings of love and pain.
I have most of his books.

Rustle Crow

Rustle crow, rustle crow
How you make the cockles glow
As you rustle to and fro
In my lonely garden.

And I know,and I know
Its a blessing you bestow
As you rustle soft and low
In my lonely garden.

It is so, it is so,
All the world is full of woe,
Yet the angels come and go
In my lonely garden.

Ian Thorpe I am not
Yet there's something I have got
Which gives a man a better chance,
Ian Thorpe underpants!

They're navy blue.They're fantastic!
With Ian's name on the elastic.
I hitch them up to indicate
That Thorpie is my closest mate.

If I fall beneath a bus,
At least I know there'll be a fuss;
In Casualty they'll sing and dance.
'Ian Thorpe underpants'

Colin Powell has had it tough
And now he says he's had enough.
He's going back to private life
The house, the garden, and the wife.
The golden memories returning
Of Baghdad and its children burning.
How nice to see a man retire
And put his feet up by the fire.

In a Strange but True section.

The Invasion of Iraq was where....

The most memorable war cries were produced by the media,

And the most memorable photographs were produced by the soldiers.

.........................................................

You can fool some of the people all of the time,and you can fool all of the people some of the time.
But you only need to fool a majority of the people for one day every few years......

And you've got a democracy!!!!

.................................................................

Little boy...Father,what's the difference between a bad guy and a good guy?
Father...A bad guy cuts your head off and a good guy blows your head off.

I love him.There are heaps more so if anyone want any more I will put them in.

Thanks to Michael Leunig for use of the poems.
