William Hoffman


Lived alone on a farm in the outback

With his sisters

Aimee and Beth

It was a lonely existence

Was the name of their dog

Once every quarter a travelling cinema

Passed within eighty miles of the farm

Neither Aimee or Beth cared

As they preferred the realism

Of documentaries black white and grey

The Greatest Story Ever Told

Was due to be shown

In the late hours of summer

Which attracted interest

From Will and his little dog

They both enjoyed the movie

Although Will later noted

That he preferred the book
