SUBURBAN TROPICALITIES

                                                                   
It's nice to go for a walk Saturday.

From UPNG down the road to the Waigani Service Station where they sell Post Courier's Weekend Courier.

We check if Storyboard is still around. They say he is too old, he should retire, call it quits and all that. But rumor has it he still loiters around and, like a strayed beggar, finds himself, in his poetic mind, a little distance away from a Risen Master sharing baked fish with His disciples - only to shake himself awake from that blissful reverie and find himself looking at old wrecks along the Waigani Road.

Well, it's all in the plan, it seems. Someone's gonna claim insurance for that, pretty soon. But let's walk on, and there, at the Service Station, is the Weekender Courier. Is Storyboard in? Yep, talking about PNG poetry taking form and the Crocodile Literary Competitions which close on Thursday, 31st May 2012.

So HURRY! Afore you miss out. Prizes are rich, voluminous, declares Storyboard.
