At the beach <br />at the bottom <br />of a very long hill, <br />Carrickalinga, not Myponga, <br />though that's a long drop as well, <br />I saw I'd left my walking-stick <br />at the damn dam look-out <br />at the top. <br /> <br />I wasn't going back to get it. <br /> <br />DBD found me a rickety stick in a near-by bush. <br /> <br />We wondered, 'Who'd call this beach No.1, <br />with neither shade nor shop? ' <br /> <br />We went to two towns to buy a stick, <br />Normanville 'n Yankalilla. <br /> <br />The first two shops had none. <br /> <br />'There's sure to be one <br />at the Op Shop called Top', <br />said one, <br />but not being quite so bold, <br />on account of the dry old stick from the bush, <br />I went into the closer Bottom, <br />and came out with the stick <br />this rhyme suggests that I call Gold.<br /><br />douglas scotney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/finding-gold-2/
