Over the hill
past the ‘Peace be with you’ sign
and the reflex ‘and with you’
change down and right
at Leonards Mill
the dog goes spak
I bark Georgy, Sit Down
but it’s a four paws salute to arcadia
to the sea, eucalypts, rolling green hills
much intersected by small valleys
wrote Matthew Flinders
Georgy lets loose a ripe one
windows down, music up
a nod and a one finger wave
How green is my valley?
Very, says Georgy
snout at maximum flair
the great conifers tower over the caravan park
unholy cockatoos welcome screech
hot fish n chips for tea.
