CRNDL - We were all anti-nuke activists then. Still hurts. Thanks for looking at this.
Todd - masterfull. Did you know about Tamaki, or find him in a search? This is brilliant. I want Kiwis to read it!
George Wilder escapes
It’s early sixties, Kiwi style. Police
have caught a burglar with his stolen cars
(his crimes of passion all are Jaguars,
he steals no other). Style and class, this thief.
He leaves Mt Eden early, by the wall,
swims rivers to throw off the sniffer dogs,
and ‘borrows’ horses, dinghies, fades through fogs,
joins parties searching for him. Soon, in all
the kitchens he breaks into, there’s a note;
‘The best of luck George! Help yourself, it’s yours’
and after eating, cheeky bugger draws
a heart beside the ‘thank you’ that he wrote.
For six long months police resources failed
to catch the man, and fling him back to jail.
