Last year, Writers’ Anthology Group (WAG) in conjunction with Bent Banana Books produced the popular collection Serendipity. Again Alpha and Omega has short stories and poetry, illustrated by local artists, mainly photographers

This year saw the launch of the Peter Campbell/ WAG Literary Awards with the champion’s trophy going to Paimarire Teague, a Year-11 student from Dakabin State High School. Paimarire’s story Hope amid War is a dystopian story and, as they say, a page turner.

Here is your song today.

Here is the lyric from my first parody which Maurice performed. See if you can pick up the original tune from the rhythm.

The song is about an Australian soldier returning from World War 1 with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (shell shock they called it in those days.)

De War Won

Bustin ' balls is me noon fun
I fought de War and da War won
I fought de War and da War won

I wanted work then, shearin’s all done
I fought de War and da War won
I fought de War and da War won

I chucked my sweetie and I am so low
I left my Grace with Mo
Now, she's his main twirl and kids in tow
I fought de War and da War won
I fought de War and da War won

Shootin' strangers with a big gun
I fought de War and da War won
I fought de War and da War won

I miss my sweetie and her smile some
I fought de War and da War won
I fought de War and da War won

I chucked my sweetie and I am so low
I left my Grace with Mo
Now, she's his main twirl and kids in tow
I fought de War and da War won
I fought de War and da War won

I wanted work then, shearin’s all done
I fought de War and da War won
I fought de War and da War won

Shootin' strangers with a big gun
I fought de War and da War won
I fought de War and da War won
