"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied with in seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not? why not indeed!!"

IT IS AUSTRALIA DAY 2015
i am meditating upon pies.
4 and 20 were our childhood
faves-
with "Mystery Meat" of scraps
of
horse,donkey,whatever-in a sweet brown
gravy
within a crust of baked
dough.YUM!
Nowadays,veggie pies,seafood
pies
have largely replaced generic COLES STORE
pies
which were uniformly tasting of mince and
gravy
as in the English tradition of "all scraps
in":
My taste buds seek replication-
so i to AUSSIE PIE COMPANY
where clean facsimiles are
presented-
Guinness ,steak and potato-ALL the
hits
but something has happened to the politics
of pies
I eat past pies,dream
Republics..
