You can read into the title of this book anything you wish. Some of my coastal friends on Magnetic Island, North Queensland, and some folks in our little town of Ravenshoe in far North Queensland-anything north of Townsville is far-have, without reading my poetic yarns, jumped to their own conclusions.
Some say, You've written about our wet tropics and rainforest. Others say it's about our 'Big Wet', a nice mild term for our cyclone season. Yet others have truly mucky minds.
What I will say, is that The Wet Patch along with all of the other humorous poems in this little book are true stories.
The book is scattered with North Queensland colloquialisms. The characters, even those with silly names, are real people. Dave, who features in my poems, is my husband, David.
Hope you enjoy the book as much as I did living it.
