All my money in sand I invested,
Now I’m of my investment divested.
I thought sand safe as gold,
Only now I’ve been told –
The Sahara, with sand, is infested.
Sand Blasted

Sands of the Desert
(for D.N. O’Brien)
In those days, we were glad that we found it,
all that sand. Our wealth waxed, and sand crowned it.
Sand was richer than gold.
Hell, that’s what we were told.
Now the market insists that we pound it.
T.R.
(I don’t know whether “to pound sand” is an expression familiar in Australia.)
I had to research it (Google that is). No – not familiar with it, but I like it – I intend to use it frequently and hope it spreads.
