Thanks Slim Dusty and thanks to Henry Lawson who wrote so many great poems which never get old. just another attempt: ua-cam.com/video/RH9wOjfZ3ps/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Remember poor old Henry was born broke. whereas Banjo was born wealthy becoming a lawyer and no matter how brilliant u were unless ure folks had great wealth that wasn't possible. Henry was born profoundly deaf too..yes he died broke but his books sold for many millions in todays money...I honestly believe he was a far more brilliant man than Banjo who had he been given the opportunity in life could have been a dr or lawyer in his spare time. The man was a genius as was banjo but In my opinion lawson was the greatest of them all...Slim certainly thought so too yet dipped his lid to them all..Rest in peace Slim Henry and Banjo.
how true and thank you for comments. I too am a real fan of Henry. Banjo was good too but Henry was brillant. I think Austrlians can relate more to Henry than Banjo
Henry's last poem he wrote, written in the February of the year he died. Old Habits die hard, eh.

Henry the Alcoholic, yet to write such beautiful limerick lyrics, the words just seem to flow so sweetly, for the dreams of such people.
