22 September – it was a Tuesday
The sun’s heat brewing from the blue freeway
A boy (Gary) leads his goat
Here is an image of this dinky anecdote
The kids arrived (76 in total)
Amongst all of these 15 were local
We welcomed the author and all sung a waiata
Then headed outside to create some memoranda
They learnt the art of the gumboot throw
got the hang of the sand & shovel combo
Kiss the Goat was a popular bite
from a teacher I was told, this was a highlight
They composed a rap and came up with a complex fist bump
We took 30 minutes to stop & sit for a while
and Mr Petherick shared some story insights with style
There was lunch to eat and games to play
And numerous lollycake logs to be tasted
Kids dressed up and so did some adults
Librarian (Eagle Glasses) never to be under-estimated
@deadlyicedagger AKA Michael Petherick
it was a privilege and a pleasure
To host you at Tutira
A memorable day for all involved
But the mystery of Galaxy man remains unresolved!
