Thought I would try my hand at putting together a few words of poetry to start things off here.

Friends

When friends all meet as they often do
Out there among the bush
And take time out to stop and yarn
As old friends often should

The dancing flames and shining coals
Of campfires often glow
A beacon pointing out the way
To friends of long ago

And if by chance you take a look
I'm sure that you will spy
A blackened well used oven
Cooking damper near the fire

A cup of tea to wash it down
While words of praise go out
Of damper, stews and other things
that ovens seem to sprout

For never yet can it be said
That cooking in the town
Can best the old camp oven
When friends all gather round

Well its a start
Cheers Furphy

You're a man of many talents Furphy, keep 'em coming. Rob.

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

Ok gang,

I'm not the wordsmith FS is, but haiku is something I can sort of do.

3 lines which are 5 syllables, 7 syllables, then 5 syllables.

Ashes to ashes
chook in camp oven well done
Is some good eating

Wazza, another example

One 5 syllables
Make two 7 syllables long
And 3 is 5 too.

'K?

Shocked

Sort of make each line a thought of itself.

Lips Sealed

Now, you have Furphy
Yarning the fish on the hook
Into mud, on fire, eat!

Cool

Furphy, you bring tears to my eyes! I can't write poetry but I can appreciate it ( when I understand it). Reminds me of when we used to go camping so as to have a cookout. Your poetry on ovens is surely unique and heart touching to those of us who have been blessed by the angel of the bush.

CJV
Its not tears that I search for just mates who feel the way I do about the peace and quiet of the bush and who know and enjoy real tucker cooked the real way but I surely do appreciate the comments and CJV are you sure you are not an aussie you think like one anyway.

Thanks Furphy
