Snap: Gumnuts

'from little things / big things grow'
Paul Kelly sang

today the gumnuts are falling
on Wanalirri's tin hat -

little brown ones green ones
local kids whistle with em

like gumleaf players
from Tom Roberts' day

'wadja say? wadja say?'
gumnuts random rhythm away

'Small opportunities are often
the beginning of great enterprises,'
wise old Demosthenes said that.

When nuts are falling,
wear a hat. (I said that.)
