Verse And Worse

Random Wit, Errant Rhyme. Not A Literary Crime

I went to college with Theodore Toohey
He had red hair and was nicknamed Bluey
He dated a brunette who was rather cluey
And she started called him "Ratter" Touille

Dying Embers Of The Day

Only One More Sunset Until Summer

Photograph copyight: DAVID McMAHON


I shot this a few hours ago, at dusk yesterday. Let me explain. I live in Australia, where it's Friday morning, while it's still Thursday in the United States, Canada and Europe. And while the rest of the world is gearing up for winter, we celebrate the first day of summer on Saturday.

Confused? Yep, I thought you might be. And just to prove that we are a happily topsy-turvy race, we have a special name for blokes with red hair. They're called "Bluey". No, I'm not kidding you. That's why Sir Richard Branson's Australian airline is called Virgin Blue, even though its planes are red. You can't get more Aussie than that, mate!
