Thanks, Patrick. It is still a little jerky (I wrote it in between taking
classes of four and seven year old Aboriginal kids >g<) and I should have
explianed those lines are from a song, Wanalirrie School Song - a wonderful
rendition written in local lingo which I will try to put on my blog with
sound and all >>> I'm techno challenged so must get advice from younger
people ... But the words I can put up here, when I type 'em all in. They're
wonderful when you hear the song. I'm teaching the kids top sing it every
morning before school begins >g<
