Eddie Eddie, always ready never steady, stupid and heady, silly dog should have had him for tea instead of that hog (roast).
Was going to go rowing but it wont stop snowing, Lynne said "the plants are growing" I said "you're mad"
Ooops I bought in some mud, thats so bad.

Cant have my bone cos I chewed the phone - oh, I'm all alone.

I went to the park to have walk, mum and mave did nothing but talk, never mind, I'm waiting for you, till then I'm sad and blue, that will do.

Love Eddie the dog - not the eagle. xxxxx

Lambs are skipping, mothers knitting, I'm a fairy just fliting and flitting drinking red wine, Rolands asleep and the lambs go bleep, bleep, bleep. Hes opened a bottle, it was rotten and cheap - never mind.

I've sold a dresser and a chest of drawers, the dogs been clipped and she cut their paws. Mothers gone walking, she gone outdoors. (thank god for that) You've just got up and were going to bed, mums with Roland and I'm with Fred. Thats the man that made my bed.

Poem by Nana 2005

Never mind!!

My boomerang wont come back,
my boomerang wont come back,
I've chased the thing all over the place,
practised till I was black in the face,
I'm a great disgrace to the aboriginy race
but my boomerang wont come back
-- thats OK cos you're in New Zealand!

Have a great time, wish I was there but I'm just square! Luv Nana xx
