A Thanksgiving Poem
Warning: this one sounds really dirty, but it isn't (unless you have a dirty mind!)
So that said, read at your own risk.
A Christmas Poem
He laid her on the table,
So white and clean and bare.
His forehead wet with beads of sweat,
He rubbed her here and there.
He touched her neck and then her breast,
And then he felt her thigh.
The slit was wet and all was set,
He gave a joyous cry.
The hole was wide -- he looked inside,
All was dark and murky.
He rubbed his hands and stretched out his arms,
...And then he stuffed the turkey.

Re: Christmas Dinner
If the news we saw here on TV last week is true then Chickens In UK are deadly to eat, so full of bugs it makes you wonder how they can sell them. Any truth in the story??

Re: Christmas Dinner
Lou there has and is at present a tv show on the telly in WA about NZ, this week was doing the South Island and showed Bluff, didn't get there this time, but the film bore no resemblance to how I remembered it in the 50"s. Used to be one street that I remember running parallel to the dock with 1 pub and a few houses, now is all built up. Hope they haven't done away with the pub, like many in Auckland, takes away the character of the place. You will by living where you do probably not notice it, but you live in an extremely beautiful part of the world, enjoy it, along with all the better things in life. Have a good Christmas and if liable to fall over after too many make sure you have soft landings. All the best John S

That's how I remember Bluff in the 50's, a one horse town and some bugger had even stolen the bluddy horse!

Re: Christmas Dinner
Ivan was in NZ a few times on various ships. Bluff will always remember as the first time there was about 17 and got involved with this girl, only puppy love. She used to come down to the ship and shout up is John there, and down the gangway I would trot. Then found out she was only 13, nearly had a heart attack. Even thought she was older than me at one time. Used to hide on board at finish of work and tell someone to tell her I had the flu or something. If that happened nowadays would be considered a right mongrel and finish up in police cell. Probably a few years later she would of finished up with the other girls partying, NZ apart from other great things had great women. Still plenty of sheep for those others inclined. Cheers John S
