Following the Equator

CHAPTER XXXVI
10/11

Among the best I have ever seen.
There are 81 in the list.

I did not need them all, but I have knocked down 66 of them; which is a good bag, it seems to me, for a person not in the business.

Perhaps a poet laureate could do better, but a poet laureate gets wages, and that is different.

When I write poetry I do not get any wages; often I lose money by it.

The best word in that list, and the most musical and gurgly, is Woolloomoolloo.
