Nuriootpa Poem by Douglas Scotney
Nuriootpa
The town Nuriootpa
is regularly shortened to Nuri
and mispronounced Nurioopta.
Their spread may be never
as wide as the world
nor cover the width of the nation,
but in South Australia one day,
'the oopta' might be said
to mean 'the easier way',
and 'the ootpa' to mean 'the harder'.
'The easiest way'
might become 'the Nuri'.
Also all three
might spread not much wider than me.
