the winter of my discount tent...
life continues swimmingly
in a place you don't want to be
everything comes together
you should be filled with joy
but yearning burns within you
mountains call from afar
other northern places gently whisper your name
it's summer, but I long for spring
Melbourne Eagerly Awaits
The entire city of Melbourne and some parts of rural Victoria are eagerly awaiting the return of their favourite son. Timbo has been away for almost an entire year, but for those left behind it has seemed like an eternity. The anticipation is building to fever pitch. The very air temperature has been raised due to the excitement of every man, women and child across the city. It is this phenomenon which is being blamed for the current temperature of 37 degrees.
Although it is know that Timbo will return on Saturday, exact details of his flight are being kept from the media. A spokeswoman for Timbo announced this precautionary step at a press conference recently. She indicated that it was to stop a repeat of the type of scenes that occurred when the Beatles made their one and only visit to Melbourne.
A small entourage of family and friends will be there to welcome him. From there airport he will be driven in style to a reception held in his honour. The spokeswomen has indicated that the media will be allowed to interview Timbo about his triumphs and adventures abroad, at a date yet to be announced.
Packer media have already indicated their interest in obtaining exclusive rights to the story, and Random House have are interested in full length memoirs, but as yet, management for Timbo have not accepted these or any other offers. Needless to say, many people are keen for the story to come out in print, all hoping to own some part of the great adventures of Timbo.
