here my summary of Dennis Glover poem ‘The Magpies’ for English
When Tom and Elizabeth took the farm
The bracken made their bed
Tom’s hand was strong to the plow
and Elizabeth’s lips were red
Year in year out they worked
while the pines grew overhead
But all the beautiful crops soon went
to the mortgage man instead
Elizabeth is dead now
Old Tom’s gone light in the head
The farm’s still there. Mortgage
couldn’t give it away
