Hanmer Poem

It's 3:36.

Mr Wood told us to write a poem this week, and I finished it the day after.

Here is my poem.

--------------------

Have you smelled Hanmer?

Of course you have.

Remember that time when the rotten egg smells of the sulphur pool

went in your nose until you walked into the hot pools

and the heat made you forget about the smells?

Remember the first time you went down the superbowl

and it was dark at first but then you go around the bowl hoping

you didn’t get stuck or fall to the last hole backwards?

That was Hanmer.

Remember the time when you saw everybody go up the rock climb

and you thought it looked easy but when you actually

tried it it was hard but you still climbed nearly to the top on the hard one

and all the way to the top on the easy one?

That was Hanmer.

Remember that time when you walked into the Lolly Pot

and saw all the delicious candies

like Warheads, BeanBoozled and Pear drops

and feeling the excitement of taking your pick?

That was Hanmer.

If you try really hard

can you remember that time

when you didn’t want to go mountain biking

because you wanted to go to the pools

and the expected time to finish was two hours

but your small group finished it in less than

45 minutes?

That was Hanmer.
