This has nothing to do with marbles does it? Even if it does, the meaning I take from it makes it one hell of a poem to me. Well done Brad.

There is certainly another intended reading in there, Gabrielle. Glad you picked it. Thanks.

amazing you do this and don’t fall into the horrendous nostalgia trap. i can’t do this myself and know very few, aside from you, who can.

I’m a bit of a closet horrendous nostalgia nerd, Jason. Don’t tell anyone I once went to a Star Trek convention and bought a communicator badge. beeeedeeeleedebeeep!

That is just brilliant. I am coming back many times to run this poem ball around in my head and vice versa.

Thanks Paul.

!Ramble warning! My brother and I made a skittle thing with ply – you know the one with the ball on a rope, on a pole and all the skittles are looped with rope underneath and you pull a lever to ping them all back up again? I painted it mint green – the colour that had been used on our bathroom walls – and my brother reckoned I’d made it look stupid. We made a boat too… and it sunk. I reckon it’s in the making rather than the result – comaraderie and that feeling that just is with your siblings. I like the rhythmic hard sounds that perfectly accentuates the subject, Brad. Don’t ever lose your marbles.

That skittle machine sounds cool. Thanks Kiersty. Lost the marbles already. Not to worry, they are still collectibles.

[...] different. The words have been hanging around my head for a long time and then I thought, Brad style, just sit down and do it – reputation on the line. It’s called Fairy Steps. Click here [...]

Hilarious ….
But what’d you do with the creationists that are in denial of their bananas?

Yeah, I’d also like to hear this one out loud. Really dig the last two verses.
