A Rich Man's Wealth
A Rich Man’s Wealth
There once
was a greedy man,
Who shared
nothing of his,
He took
from the poor,
And gave
the spoils to the rich,
He was
truly hated,
And he had
no friends,
One day he
woke up,
It was a
shining day,
He got up
out of bed,
But tripped
up and landed on his head,
His room
was a clutter,
Of things
he had taken,
He had no
space for them you see,
So they laid
on the floor,
Hung off
the doors,
And spread
to his tables,
As he got
up,
He stopped
and he looked,
“I don’t
need all this stuff” said he,
So he
packed it in bags,
And rode to
his village,
And gave
his stuff away,
The keys to
his castle,
His eight
noble horses,
Silver
forks and golden spoons,
And his pet
monkey too,
Until he
had nothing left,
Except for
the clothes on his back,
And the
food in his belly,
But the
smiles of the villages,
Made his
heart race,
And made
him as happy as can be,
He had
nothing left but the smile on his face,
As he
walked down the road,
To a cave
nearby,
There he as
a hermit,
Giving what
he made away,
He made
many friends,
Which he
met often,
To tell
them stories of joy,
He died of
old age,
With a
smile on his face,
“I’m glad I
gave away all that stuff” he said,
Just before
his last breath was taken.

Short Poems
Bye Bye Blue
Jay
Bye bye blue jay,
Where are you going?
I’m going up to heaven,
To watch the water flowing.
Build here,
Build there
Build a road here,
Build a house there,
Throw a giant party,
Then fall down the stairs
Living Life
For those who die,
For those who live,
For those who lie,
And for those who forgive.
Shining
Bright
During the day,
During the night,
When the sun shines,
And when the moon is bright.
Shining Knight
Shining Knight
When the
sun sinks low,
When the
moon rises high,
Where
shadow whispers,
And
children cry,
Rides a
Knight in shining armour,
On a
gallant beast,
He’s as
strong as a mountain,
He’s as
quick as a cheetah,
But he’s as
arrogant as a pig,
And his
pride has no end,
He defeated
many foes,
But gained
no friends.

Australian facts
1. The Australian Coat Of Arms has on it a kangaroo and an emu. The reason for this is that the kangaroo and the emu cannot go backwards but can only walk forwards.
2. Australia, founded by convicts. The homicide rate is in Australia is 1.8 per 100,000 of population. The United States was founded by religious zealots. It's homicide rate is 6.3 per 100,000. Almost 400% greater than Australia.
3. The venom of the Australian funnel-web spider can kill a person in less than an hour, and its fangs can bite right through a shoe.
4. Glenn King at the University of Queensland is studying the Blue Mountains funnel-web spider (Hadronyche versuta) with an eye toward developing eco-friendly pesticides. Proteins in this spider’s venom target the nervous system of insects but leave humans unharmed.
5. There are more than 150 million sheep in Australia, and only some 20 million people.
6. Around 115 Australians per 100,000 of population are in jail. This compares with: New Zealand 155, UK 141, Germany 100, Spain 138, Canada 116, South Africa 400, USA 700.
7. The tropical north of Australia is home to the world’s largest species of crocodile, the salt water crocodile. These creatures are protected in Australia. Males can occasionally grow to lengths of over 6 metres (20 feet). Each year one or two people are eaten by crocodiles in Australia
8. Australia has the lowest precipitation of any of the world’s inhabited continents. (Antarctica gets less.) 70 percent of Australia gets less than 500 mm (20 inches) of rainfall per year
9. Nearly twenty million people now live in Australia, 95% of them on only 1% of the coastal land around continent. The entire middle parts of Australia are largely empty, so population density is calculated in square kilometers per person, not the number of people per square kilometer.
And nothing to do with Australia but still is interesting is.......
'Politics: “Poli” a Latin word meaning "many" and "tics" meaning "bloodsucking creatures"'.
