Keep writing


I sit in my house, feeling quite cold
My memory so clear but nothing resolved
I think of my life, my precious childhood
Remember what happened when I was involved

I learned how to swim, ride a bike and run
Write poems and stories and read so much
Rode horses, loved sheep, kept lots of mice
Loved cats and dogs which I just wanted to touch

It’s far far away, I’ve lost some memory
But writing is now, it’s me in recovery
I can think of my future and write all my thoughts
Ride a bike, love cats and dogs, climb up a tree

Just go for a drive, keep loving the country
Walk by a stream or climb up a hill
I’m at the top, I’m feeling I’m good
This feeling is mine, my perfect free will

So to keep me warm I must keep on writing
Poems, short stories, a novel or two
Writing is my future, my every day
To all those who read, thank you, thank you!

Unemployment Benefit vs Wages

Are you up to date with the unemployment benefit? If you have no idea how it’s been, read this. Age 21+, from 1985, per week, subject to indexation of 3% average per year: Nov 1985        $91.45              ALP April 1990        $130.00            ALP March 1995      $150.75            ALP March 2000      $165.80            LNP March 2005      $199.65            LNP March 2010      $231.40            ALP March 2015      $259.60            LNP March 2020      $282.85            LNP https://guides.dss.gov.au/guide-social-security-law/5/2/1/20 I have heard and read comments by too many people who know nothing about UEB. They only understand wages, probably because they are on a wage. Wages growth is very different to Unemployment Benefit, 3.25% average per year but higher incomes (incl. salaries) have increased a lot more than that. 2002-2007        annual average 3.8% increase (19% over 5 years) 2007-2012        annual average 3.65% increase (18.25% ov

A Visit from the Aneurysm Angel

I'm not a huge christmas fan, but I loved to write a poem about my aneurysm at christmas time. (Clement Clarke Moore wrote originally about Santa.) 'Twas the night before Christmas, all aside from the aneurysm Not a creature was stirring and no one had rheumatism. The stockings were hung - although most didn't exist (In hopes that trees would be added on, but mostly were missed). The children were nestled, all snug in their beds, While visions of Santa danced round in their heads. With me in my nightie, alone with no kids, I'd just settled my aneurysm for a long nap without skids, When out on the lawn there arose such a noise - I sprang from my bed to see who had the voice. Away to the window I flew like a bird, I tore open the curtains, all outside looked blurred. The moon on the breast of the hottest of lawn Looked rather duller and very, very forlorn, When what to my wondering eyes did appear, But an awesome PT with no tiny rein-deer, With no littl
