Questionable tone, poem?
Then Sheila, notwithstanding elegant curves,
rhyming walnut branch and lines of hers,
lowers back and sheets it home.While stilted pied stalks by on the other side

.... still time to include it in Johnny's flag referendum
One small positive outcome locally from the ISIS challenge -- if there is going to be a flag referendum any time soon then JohnKey's personal preference for NZ to have a black flag with some sort of white bit in the middle is not going to fly.
