NOTES TO PICTURES II
| December 2018

Greeting from Patrick Levo

Greetings oh merry ones,
may the angelic harp of Saint John's harpoon you,
with thy faithful tunes of Christmas by the fyfe,
that you may be merry and blessed,
as you feast on pork & boroma,
you teller of feisty legends,
roam on wild and unfettered.

(Sgd) Your Dear Friend in the River

Response from Keith Jackson

Greetings oh lost and begotten comrade
Who ditched high class living for the swamps
Now do you yearn for what was left behind?
A small bribe to plant a story benign… on page 9
A free feed for a minister’s pic (girlfriend absent)
A trip to Australia for a conference meaning nothing

But no, you are not a man of disrepute
You are a spirit of high thought and passion
A man of the clan who understands your kind
Who can see a place that is better than you know
Who espies the flaws like a dog espies fleas
A true man of his people, not a man of cardboard
