WOLLUNDRY POET'S DAY with sincere apologies to Mr Patterson!!
There was movement at Wollundry, when Milde passed the word around
about Wollundry Rotary Club's Poet's Day
They had joined their cultural forces, and they had to make a pound
So, the sergeant's cracks would fill them with dismay.

All the fried and noted sliders, whose behaviour's been under par
are mustered and all feel a tinge of fright
For that Sergeant loves hard riding, at catching mates out - he is a star
But of course, he stuffs his accusations full of shite.

There's Robertson, who made his pile when wool prices were way up
Like Stuart Heriot, he now takes a blow
Wishart and Gray are whinging cockies, will those tight buggers cough up?
Or will they do a Kerry Pascoe and just not show?

Laurie Blowes the jerry-builder, will ride in to lend a hand
No worse reprobate ever held the reins,
Except maybe Michael Georgiou, and Graham Burmeister's in that band
Plus, Geoff Breust whose dirty deeds are done in planes.

And up in the air, he dodges, Ken Taylor's weedy beasts

 *   they're something like a plane, but undersized
perfect for perving on sheilas, sunbaking half-naked at least
or annoying Pete Clucas, as he's flying by.

But still this club is very needy, you can't doubt their power to pay
Their fines, for holding back would never do
It's a long and tiring process, when each Sergeant has his day
To get a quid from this tight and motley crew.

So, let the moths out Mayor Conkey, your O.A.M. won't save you now
Dr Baguley might have to perform some C.P.R.
Let's extract some gold from Crozier, McKinnon will show us how
And Mark Hillis is sure to donate a near-new car!

There's McCoy in the spotlight, what's that awful sound he's made
When he fished for his wallet - oh the pain!
Obst has taken out his   Abacus, Milde's smile has begun to fade,
Oh Gawd, Cedric Priest's blowing hot air again!

Tennis guru, John Ferguson's made an offer - said instead of paying a fine
He'll show us tricks he can do with his balls
And in lieu of filthy lucre, McMullen wants to give us wine
While John Smith said he can arrange some free phone calls.

Paul Murray's offering IT advice, to tech-retards and dinosaurs
James McNaughton's offering legs of pork
David Pyke said he could advise us, how to avoid succession wars
While Flynny would tell us naughty Irish jokes from County Cork.


A foot-long Subway voucher's what young Puckeridge'd like to pay
Frank Fuller's fine will be in a brown paper bag
"I'm safe. They can't fine a President"- Hamilton was heard to say
Gaiter said, "you're gone mate - this sergeant's no flamin' fag!"

McIntosh lay down the law - "Just cough up you buggers, when you're called
There's only one exception here - just one, alright?

 *   A bloke's who's really short of a quid, so his fine must be very small
And that's our battling mate, poor old Michael Knight".

So down at Wagga Wagga, where Adrian Whiting stands at stud
And commands a massive service fee
The Wollundry boys all pull together, in drought, blizzard, fire and flood
They really are a magnificent sight to see.

...... if you weren't mentioned in this poem - bloody well pay up!
