Things my father taught me

To grow tomatoes love compost eat grapes including the seeds eat apples including the core shoot watermelon pips that fruit tastes even better with cream on it to lick my plate at the conclusion of a meal

to drive a car back a trailer ride a billycart that getting bogged every weekend is fun to ride a horse kayak in white melt water kayak in rough surf to jump into deep muddy rivers to skip stones on a lake blow up a bullants nest to  shoot snakes to love dogs

to build a campfire whittle a toasting fork to lose it completely when pitching a tent to tell a good yarn to enjoy a road trip with no stops for any reason to play a gum leaf

to milk a cow to milk a goat to love a cold bath to fast to hate authority to use a powertool to conduct a choir to laugh just because somebody hurts themselves when in doubt take vitamin C to rebel to tease 

to never give in.

Thanks Dad.
