Back On The Tools. (adapted from “An Old-time Plumber”)
Could I actually do the task?
Am I physically strong enough?
Am I mentally sharp and able enough?
To endure four to fives days of hard work?
Surprise, surprise, I have survived the first three days

And I am home beside the heater and enjoying a red wine
Although when I finished it was already dark
And my back was stiff as red-gum bark
But a job stamped by my old-time quality trademark
I have just completed the second edit and redraft of the manuscript for my book “Until Eyes Hear Sound”, and officially the poem below, will be the Book’s opening poem in, Chapter 1, ‘Little Creatures and The Birds
