"Been watching tennis. Murray has just beaten an American rejoicing in the name of Mardy Fish." (Wyrd Sister)...Did you see that fine top-spin lob he caught Fish out with, WS?!
PS: the Murray River in Australia used to be quite popular for fishing...
Poem 5 of 230: STATE TO STATE

From Sydney Town,
In uni. break,
I drove out west
To earnings make
Onion picking,
On the fields
Of Echuca,
That year's yields.
After day's work,
From Y.H.A.,
A group of us
Would not delay
To walk on down
To the dirt rim
Of the Murray,
For a cool swim.
On one such day,
I do declare,
Some three of us
Had a big dare
To swim across,
From state to state,
The wide Murray -
I took the bait.
Yes, foolishly,
I took the bait -
A choice that I
Would come to hate,
For I almost
Did drown that date,
Making the swim
From state to state.
