Going Walkabout!

“Round the ragged rocks”, I see,

My “ragged rascals ran*”;

The quote is apt so, like a thief,

Let’s steal it for my clan!

 

Not sand but boulders on this beach

But such fun to explore;

Marine detritus within reach

All washed up on the shore.

 

A hardy trek in sunny climes

Before a break for tea

Round jagged rocks our Thomas climbs

The family’s on a spree!

 

The Great Outdoors is where it’s at

Oz has wide-open spaces;

It’s winter - no need for a hat

See joy in their young faces!

 

Sure-footed, Isabella goes

After some reflexion

Quite determined, Heaven knows

In opposite direction!
