Goin' down to the machete store
They ain't gonna bother me any more
Let them come at me
From the jungle night
My new bought blade
Packs a lot of might
If that don't work
I'll smile real slow
One way or another
They're gonna go

- Comment from author about the poem: Last year my brother was a volunteer on a mission in the Peruvian jungle to find, catch and tag anacondas. (Luckily they didn't find any - or so felt his family!). He sent us a photo (which I unfortunately lost) of himself wielding a machete in the store where he bought it - essential equipment apparently. It just made me laugh so I wrote this.......... forgive me Grant!

I would forgive you if you were my sister haha, a lovely little poem with a touch of humour
Michael 🙂
We'll see - he probably won't be bothered to come to this site so he'll never know!!!
And if you were my sister I'd laugh with you as I'm sure he would too - such a fun write.
I have to be careful not to ruffle his gravitas......... elder sister, don't you know.......
Anacondas? Not exactly like finding a foot long garden Snake. Hope he learns that machete as well as his sister has learned her pen.
Well unfortunately they didn't find one but he was with experts - too bad really because he would have loved the tackle!
This is a great one, Lorna!
I didn’t read the comment
before I read your verse!
I thought it was about you
or some other individual
buying some sort of blade
at a local store for protection!
Then I read your comments.
You certainly surprised me!
Anacondas!!! I can’t even
watch the movie ANACONDA!
Your brother is very brave!
More power to him!
~Laura~
I'll tell him - he'll like that. Actually what he got was a good case of traveler's tummy! But it was an adventure.
Good fun write Lorna, sounds like he is a good brother in spite of his 'gravitas'.
Absolutely!! He says he is going to join the site!!!! This will be fun...........
The pic really paints your image of your macho bro indeed
