MAVIS WHITE'S WAKE, VAUCLUSE, 23 JULY 2009


ODE TO THE FALLEN MAVIS

by Stephen Little,

Let the rivers freeze and the mountains roar,
the Coogee Pocket Venus is no more.

She reared two artists she potted, she gardened,

She suffered vertigo; her arteries hardened.

I will terribly miss her particular way,

Farewell dear one .....she died today.
