You must be mellowing out deb. I honestly thought after such an elaborate set-up with that 'shaggy-dog' ending I'd still be flying thru the air on a one-way to Peru.

I might have a go at the 'wimmens-is-evil' thread and see how my luck's going.

Here's the poem I was looking for.
Thanks again to Mr Stillwater.....

The Brown Snake
Douglas Stewart.

I walked to the green gum-tree
Because the day was hot;
A snake could be anywhere
But that time I forgot.

The Duckmaloi lazed along the valley
In amber pools like tea
From some old fossicker's billy,
And I walked under the tree.

Blue summer smoked on Bindo,
It lapped me warm in it's waves,
And when that snake hissed up
Under a shower of leaves

Huge, high as my waist,
Rearing with lightning's tongue,
So brown with heat like the fallen
Dry sticks it hid among,

I thought the earth itself
Under the green gum-tree
All in the sweet of summer
Reached out to strike me.

He's a bit wordy, that Douglas Stewart. Not doin' much these days, though.

Stilly's poem got to the point a lot faster, and without all those wasteful word pictures!
