Here’s a nice one for a Christmas card, see? ‘I rap you a mini waiata. I burble it out like a tūī. Kia ora, and kia kaha! With my arohanui.’ It bloody well rhymes! Good, eh?– Hone Tuwhare recites a jolly poem
He’s a very private person, and he came down here from Auckland so that he could write a lot of poetry.– Kaka Point Dairy Owner Glennis Woods
