ODE TO "THE BACKPACKERS BARN"

Carl and Cathy from the "Backpackers Barn",
are a great couple, to meet for a yarn.

Should you need some warm gear, to go on a hike,
some maps, or some boots, or a light for the night,
or, --maybe you just need to hire a bike.
Perhaps a new mantle, some fuel, or some socks,
they're located in Edward street, amongst other shops.

The service is terrific, the advice very sound,
and if you want to survive --- just ask,
"Is Carl around?"
He's lofty and loud, in skills he abounds,
sharp as a tack, his resources will astound.

Now Cathy’s more quiet --a purposeful soul,
at the "Backpackers Barn, "she plays a big role.
Her warmth is a talent, it comes from the heart.
It's more than a gift, it's really an art.

Hello, -- is such a simple word,
but from Jo' it's quite a treat.
Jo's the female cocky whom all like to meet.
She rules the roost at the "Backpackers Barn",
and seems rebuffed if you don’t share with her a scratch and a yarn.

So when your next in Devonport call on Carl and Cathy,
at the "Backpackers Barn." they love to be met.
And, if you’re from overseas --don't worry,
you can still chat to them, via the net.
