Ā Ā Ā Ā Where Iām FromĀ
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā (Inspired by George Ella Lyon)Ā
Iām from mud wars and revolting grass fliesĀ
Hot days getting to 34 degrees, then dropping to -4 degrees.
Iām from playing soccer in the frost to school inside
on scorching hot days.
Iām from lightning shattering glass
And the rumbling thunder of the tanker collecting milk.
Ghosts slamming doors andĀ harmonicas playing at midnight.
Iām from āBuzz offā and āsoonāĀ – taking hours,Ā
andĀ āWhat’s all this stuff?
Anything on the floor is going in the bin.ā
Iām from Dip hill road, Tokarahi.
