There is a lot of wonderful about Australia.
Meet me old mate, he lived with us for 21 years.
He may still be alive, I don't know, you'd have to ask Mario,
One day, long ago, our doorbell rang. It was a young guy, an Aussie,
a total stranger. "Hello. I'm on a bit of a walkabout of your country.
A mate of mine back home said you might put me up for a night?"
I was young and very macho and strong. He soon knew we were a gay couple.
I grinned, and challenged the Traveler to an arm wrestling match, for bragging rights.
It did not matter which arm I used, he beat me every time in two seconds flat.
He grinned in the usual, good-natured Australian way. He stayed a day,
then continued his adventure to see the USA by himself, without a dollar in his pocket,
and full heart of determination. He won, like Steve wins, here.
