I came across a book today
Bought in ’71 on holiday
At 8 years old
It seemed like Gold
Though it remains unread until this day…
Purchased in Northern NSW
It must have been on sale
A Paperback for $1.75
Imagination set to thrive!
Still, it remains unread until this day…
The author is Bill Harney
It’s about Australia’s Country
Excerpts from his life
The fun and also the strife
Though it remains unread until this day…
The title is relaxing
Certainly not too taxing
A lot of fun, it is
‘Content To Lie In The Sun’
Still, it remains unread until this day…
Throughout my life I waited
For that time anticipated
When that feeling would come
In the form of some wisdom
Though it remains unread until this day…
Today I’ve got that feeling
My Heart has started to sing
Without any hesitation
And much anticipation
I started reading this book today!
