During the month of April Larry Nicholson, a First NationsWriter lead and interactive writing workshop at Pathways

Aboriginal Centre for the The OSKAYAK Youth Program.

Together participants wrote this poem:

Once, there was great BBQ

A rog came and poured water on it

The BBQ had magical powers-

Sunshine, lollipops & rainbows, everything

All the kings horses and all the king’s men

The great BBQ was held in the garden o Eden and protected

by the sword acing East

And on it the greatest steak o all with toga sauce

And next a voice spoke saying: Luke I am youth ather

Then it started to rain butterlies and rogs

Then unicorns came trying to steal the steak but it did not

work

Because sleepwalkers are greedy

Because unicorns did not know the sleepwalkers had the

sword to protect them . . .
