Ragwort and thistles

Oct 2014

A couple of verses taken from the book recently donated to
Martinborough Library by Rural Women NZ Martinborough Branch.

Docking
Lambing had gone well with twins everywhere
So before too long the call for docking was here
Instructions were to appear – but at the same time keep out of sight
Till a call to pick up the scrim and run with all my might

Get up here Bandit…get out of it Jake…way out there Cap
While the dogs ran to command I sat with the scrim on my lap
Down the gully and up my side towards me they came
If those lambs break…I’ll who he’ll blame!
