A poem by James Sturges (84) RHODESIA Jacarandas, blue tinged trees Laughing children, all say please. Smiling nannies loud and chatting, Salisbury Sports Club, Rhodies batting. Braais and picnics, McIllwaine Dam, Tanganda tea and Colcom Ham. Greeting friends to talk and talk, Inyanga Dams so safe to walk. Snakes and mossies, flying ants, Schoolboy rugby, winning chants. Swimming parties, sleep-over night, Christmas Carols by candle light. Honest Police, able and willing, Gremlins rolls ten for a shilling. Sunday car trips, Sinoia caves, La Boheme and Coq Dors raves. Week - end outings to Shavinoia Falls, Dancing and Ballet in Curtain Calls. Beautiful gardens, Ballantyne Park, Window shopping just after dark. Burgers and Hot-dogs, Dairy Den Ices, Aromas from cafes of curry and spices. Snow white tackies, Bata shoes, Charity fetes, tombola and booze. Clear blue skies or heavy rain, Wish I could live it all over again. Memories fade, so much to tell. Oh Yes, Dear Rhodesia, I remember you well. UnlikeU UnlikeUnlike ·
