Great Southern Hemisphere Coracle Race 2007


The crew of The Coracle Oracle
announces its purpose
to race boats in a morning-long circus
from Friendly Bay.
But not today.

Just think "follicle"
and you'll find in the murk'est
shallows of Oamaru Harbour
our proud boats, our town, even our workers
racing coracles from 9 a.m.

The date is December second. So cut the trim
shear the wind lose the sail and join in!

It's not horrible.
You'll find us incorrigible.
