BERNIE
Bernie,
of Fletcher Christian Apartments
A
gentleman, so true, in every way.
One
could not wish, in all of Norfolk Island
To
find a soul more helpful, day by day.
Bernie,
a Fletcher Christian descendant;
Whose
temperament, so kind, might hold the key
To
why, such drastic action took, his forebear,
In
leading famous Bounty Mutiny.
Bernie,
a Fletcher Christian reflection,
Would
show us true what happened on that day:
It
was from concern for crew that Fletcher acted,
To
save them all from tyrant Captain Bligh.
Bernie,
a Fletcher Christian proponent;
Is
rightly proud to call himself that name;
And
he is proof the Lord turns curse to blessing,
Thus
changes Fletcher's infamy to “FAME”!
This
poem is dedicated to Bernie Christian-Bailey
by
Roger Douglas Christensen. Written Monday 16/3/15.
In
appreciation for your friendship, Christian love, concern and going
beyond the call of duty to help out my wife and I.
Bless
you indeed.
This is Bernie on the occasion we met with Quentin Bryce(not shown!)
