Technology a friend of mine likes to own,
Among his collection is an expensive drone,
This year he decided to film the Avon Descent,

No response to the call to come on home,
A fruitless search followed for this lost drone,
The weeks rolled by and resigned was the owner,
On eBay he even advertised the controller,
Then one morning a call came through,
We found a drone and on it is a picture of you!
This to me almost seemed too unlikely to be real,
Only a metre had separated it from a tractor wheel,
Beyond the forest and in a paddock it was found,
The crop cushioning its meeting with the ground,
The grateful owner didn’t know what to say,
My response to him, “only in Toodyay”
