He’s
all talk
all muscle
shallow
deep
in the know
in the dark
for real
unreal
my friend
your friend
Well I wouldn’t call him a friend friend.
He owes me
I owe him
Haven’t seen him since high school
Saw him two hours ago
I’ve never seen him with a woman
I’ve never seen him without a woman
Trust me, he’ll show
He’ll never show now
He’ll know that we’ve been talking about him.
On that, gentlemen, we agree.

I give poetry readings in private houses to groups of eight or more. Currently I don't charge for this but will accept donations and/or petrol money if the private house reading is outside the Melbourne metropolitan area.
To date I have given private house readings in Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania and China.
My family and I – Helen, our son Walter and our dog Buzz (black miniature poodle – housetrained) are interested in house-swaps in Australia and overseas and are interested in billeting visitors to Melbourne and being billeted ourselves when we go on poetry reading tours in Australia and overseas.
