    Was catching up on some news and read 4 young kids aged between 10-14 went on a 9000km epic road trip in a 4WD from QLD to NSW without their parents knowledge. The article became interesting when i read the below....

    The 4WD was first sighted early on Sunday morning in the small town of Banana, west of Rockhampton, where the group was allegedly involved in a petrol theft incident.

    Came across this little ditty. It reminded me of someone:

    Pity The Bitter Optimist

     

    Pity the bitter optimist,
    He wants to rant and shake his fist,
    But just can’t seem to bring himself to do so,
    He doesn’t want to think the best,
    He knows the world’s completely messed,
    From his mouth it never quite rings true though,
    He’s certainly no giddy fool,
    Thinks cynical is kind of cool,
    But is cursed to always find the silver lining,
    He’s tried to practice sneer and scowl,
    Even worked up an evil growl,
    Still he knows somewhere the sun is always shining,
    He makes his outside sort of tough,
    Wears shades and reads the darker stuff,
    But somewhere inside lives Little Orphan Annie,
    He’s even tried to turn to drink,
    He thought it’d make him mean I think,
    Found his ability to laugh is near uncanny,
    So if you are pessimistic,
    I’m afraid to him it won’t stick,
    Despite the twisted ruse he tries so oft to borrow,
    Yes his charade is oh so thin,
    For very much to his chagrin,
    He can’t help but hope for better things tomorrow.

    I have always maintained that this is a classy and educational thread and your poem fits in nicely with that view.

    Thank you Neil. 

    Happily , or should it be sadly, I do see something of my wonderful and vile self in this verse

    I shall now proceed to thrash the maid and then sit down and have a jolly good cry.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
