1999

 



“Why aren’t there more aborigines

working on the reserve?

She asked the Town Manager

over morning coffee.

“The mob won’t stand a full shift.

They put in four hours and 

bugger off”

“Where to? She asks

“Who knows? Walk-abouts and hunting

some say”

“ Do they work well for the four hours?”

“Good enough, but that’s not a shift is it?

Can’t run the town on four hours a day” 

“What about two shifts?”

“What are you saying?

Two four hours shifts a day, 

different groups”

“Sounds like a bloody load of work”

“For who?”

Inspiration from

28. Break the mold. Get
 out of the rut. Think outside
 the box.
Write a poem about a new way
 of doing something.
