didjaknow, they were champions two.

just rushed out a poem to dennis and jacko, kings of rhyme. hope to get it right in the next few days. absolutely bowled out finding this out on the inter-net. fondest regards sonia and dennis daughter and jacko's son.
hope to get down to wake if I'm well enough and there's still a caravan park on the blue mountains.
just learning about the internet and my email address is cmmnsrbrt@yahoo.com.au. I'm not on the phone anymore and living in mullumbimby
it is so important that a real effort be made by dennis friends to
get that biography of the south coast wharfie organiser ted roach up and out. for 10-12 years just about every other week on the phone den and I talked about it and its message.
it may well be dennis most important, as it reveals so much of our nationalism and why we are australians.it is a revelatory piece of justice and class understanding.
If I can get someone to scan some pics of the boys I'll send them along.
Jeeze this has bowled me.
Please add a verse or two if you think it helps. just thought of something for that last verse or two-

didjaknow dennis and jacko
didja catch 'em in the slips,
or did you sing their songs
so sweetly on the lips.

dijaknow 'em on the paddock,
or on the building site
like another lost mate,
the paddington colt, who could fight.

didja know den's engraved
in brass tablets over mountains blue
where the wind sings the brothers'tunes
champions songs ever strong, ever true.

didja know those kings of rhyme,
didjaknow those brothers,
were mates of mine,
didjaknow they were champions two !
