Learning outcome: To record the experiences of West Coast children from the past 100 years in order to create a History of West Coast people during times of difficulty and challenge - this will be turned into a book to be kept in local museums and at Shantytown.

Same Thing as yesterday


Two dogs are in this bubble,
Bob and Millie.
Not much changes for the bubble dogs.
Same thing as yesterday.


Same creek, same trees, same smells, same fleas and barking.
Barking at another dog,
In another bubble.
Through the bush, 
Another voice.


No school to be in lockdown from,
No mad rush to buy toilet paper,
No new virus to worry about,
Just - what's for dinner?

Oh, same thing as yesterday? Good.

  1. That is a fantastic poem Fynn. A brilliant view through the eyes of your dog.
    They all love the the fact that life stays the same and that they see more of their beloved humans!
    A poem I’m sure many will enjoy in the future.
