Can of words - Poetry

Age Age is a state we sometimes regret, How old we are we would like to forget Age like a story are pages of life, Single or married to husband or wife, When we are young we want to grow old, Don't be in a rush by elders we're told. We look for the weekends on each working day, Our thoughts of tomorrow can spurn life away. Enjoy what you have, hold no regret, If you're reading this poem there's still time left yet "that's life" © Roy Evans, Ingham, Australia 2006	Cane Farmers's Lament Rising costs and falling prices, Governments with mean devices, Sugar cane the country’s soul, Joined by wheat and shiny coal, Drains and drainways blocked by storms, Can be cleared, just fill in forms, Forms obtained from DPI, Would make the average farmer cry, Infestation in the cane, Mainly caused by falling rain, But can the farmer kill the rats, No! says the rules by Government prats, We must protect the weeds, the moles, And anything in tiny holes, We must protect the sharks and crocs, Any tiny bugs that live in rocks, But who protects this man of toil, That gets our sugar from the soil, Not the Government we say, Or the people in their pay, So life on earth is really great, As long as you’re not human, mate. © Roy Evans, Ingham, Australia 2006
Why Being young with not much sense, I thought I'd jump the garden fence. Now here in a hospital bed I lie, My right leg pointing to the sky, In a cast from hip to toe. Why I did it. I do not know © Kay Mark, Ingham, Australia 2007
