Heath’s idea of going green
The way that Heath is talking, life is grim.
Our car has gone because of petrol prices.
At least with walking now I will stay slim
but then he says I have to stop my vices.
With Betty I play bingo to have fun
but Heath now says we have to save the trees
and not use books to play - it’s just not done.
We can recycle paper - Bett agrees.
To stop from making love outside our door
is just too much to ask of me to do
and though sometimes Heath can be such a bore
and spoil my fun, he won’t go talk to Hugh.
This feud he has with Fluffy’s out of hand.
No matter what we do it carries on
and Hugh has now had more than he can stand
so now hides Fluff away till Heath has gone.
You know, the funny thing is Heath’s cigars -
the smoke he blows into the air each time.
Oh gawd! He knows it goes up to the stars,
pollutes the air and causes so much grime.
But still he tries to make the world stay green
and I hope it works so we can breathe once more.
The rubbish piles against the fence unseen -
the smells so bad you know it’s there for sure.
I love my Heath so much - don’t get me wrong.
The footprints through the house with dirty boots
is hard to take. I say they don’t belong
inside. He turns straight round and outside scoots.
We hope Hugh’s faves will come and join the fun.
We’ll fix the world – our work has just begun.

Dear Hine, Goodonya dear niece, a good response to heath's poem. He is such a silly sausage, but lovable.
Love AJ

Dear Hine, A good answer to Heaths poem.
You stick to your guns girl, if you want to make love outside you tell Heath that's the way it's got to be.
Loved your poem.
Love Jen

I knew it wasn't my fault, it's Heath's cigars! Now I can go back to burning those 300 automobile tires I have out back the barn!
Love outside the door! Double Does Fluff watch? I think that deserves a triple
Ah, I can sit back and do nothing to help the environment because now I know it's Heath and Hugh's fault!

Dear Hinemoa,
You're doing a good job of keeping Heath in line. I enjoyed your response to his ideas for going green.
They say that all good things take time.
When it comes to the environment,
wasting time's a crime!
(I like the optimistic way you ended your poem:
"We’ll fix the world – our work has just begun.")
We all need to take action NOW!
Tomorrow's not an option anymore.
We can't afford to wait until the time
the Green Police are knockin' on our door.
Best of Luck in this contest!

Tell Heath you'll promise to wear your green undies if he'll continue with the lovemaking outside the door
Or maybe you could get him to give up the cigars if you agree no lovin' outside the door. It's a good thing you love Heath so much... he's a handful, I bet

Dear Dee,There's no way I can get Heath to give up his cigars, I have tried. Joan reckons I'm a marvel at handling Heath
he was a real handful when we first met. Still is.
No way will I give up love making outdoors.
Hine -
He sure is a handful Dee! But easy to get along with.
I've seen how Hine handle him

Dear Hinemoa,
I think it's pretty rich that Heath expects
you should forsake your little bits of fun.
Just wait till the Health Officer inspects
those piles of rubbish stinking in the sun!
and, as for never making love outside,
I don't believe your farts are so extreme
that they would blow the ozone layer wide
and eggs are really no worse than baked beans!
and, as for Fluffy, I can't understand
why he behaves like Mongrel Mob or Black Power brutes.
You're absolutely right to reprimand
him walking through the house with dirty boots.
and after all he's written - so obscene,
I think it's time to keep the party clean.
Goodonyer mate for taking a stand!
Applause, love and hugs and best of luck in the voting.
