Enough of that, let's get back to the poetry!
Here's a beauty, written by WAV:
26 UP ULURU?
Came in a coach from Alice -
Slept nearby overnight;
An early call awoke us -
Just before the morning light.
We were bussed to Uluru
As the dawn began to break:
Stopping to take in the view -
A proud sight that rock does make.
Began the steep early-climb,
Which, as marked, has claimed some life;
For youths it was just good time,
But heavy aged-breaths were rife.
An hour or two later,
After gazing from the top,
We returned to the charter -
Kata Tjuta one last stop.
(P.S: in hindsight, I'm sure
That from a distance to view
Is more kind, and more pleasure,
Than climbing up Uluru.)
Match that one, Spaw! Betcha can't, betcha can't!
