Here is a poem by James K. Baxter, a New Zealand poet. Visit our student pages to see our own versions... =The Town= The town was usual enough; it had A creek, a bridge, a beach, a sky Over it, and even a small tin church I never went to. My brother, my cousins and I Did what boys do - dozed in the hot Schoolroom, made bows and arrows, dodged the mad Boatbuilder, crept like rabbits through the black Under-runners with a weak torch, Burnt dry rushes, wrestled or swam Doing nothing important.

James K. Baxter

Here's Miss McNae's version

The park was usual enough; it had A fernery, a tree, a cricket pitch, a boat on the lake, and a creaking water wheel I'd put money in. My sister, grandmother and I Did what families do - listened to the music Soar, played on the slide, admired the calm Cricket players, snapped photos like a turtle of the brightly Lit trees at Christmas, Picnicked beside the glistening lake, the red boat shed. Doing nothing important.
