I Have Written

I have written of Claraghatlea, Annagloor and Dooneen And the mental pictures i retain of the beauty i have seen In the countryside by Clara near old Millstreet Town Where i was known to many when my hair was dark brown Of people i met in my journeys in life i have written many a rhyme Since i commenced rhyming four decades ago this is going back in time I have written rhymes of Australia's people and it's wildlife a Land that is very old The story of it's first people in written history will never be told So much natural beauty to write rhymes on in this great southern Land Why it is so amazing to many one can well understand I have been a rhymer for years of two score And i write rhymes for enjoyment and little else more I add to my numbers of rhymes every day With rhyming words i am one who likes to play.
