I turned on the tennis
For news of our players,
But there’s no Aussies left
So I’ll suffer T20 – or even One Dayers.
According to Hamish
The fate of our Nation,
Rests on selling fast food
For our Birth’s celebration.
I know that we’re struggling
And Stosur’s pathetic,
But I thought that Grand Angus
Was the goalie for Celtic.
It’s how we define us
What we’ve bought – what we’re sold,
But a diet of Macca’s
Won’t win us more Gold.
Who to look up to
Now the PM’s a ranga?
I’ll stick to the sport
On my Hi Def Samsunga.
No better elsewhere
Tony’s a flanker,
For cricket and beer
We can’t beat Sri Lanka.
We used to love sport
We’d cheer every goal,
Now ratings and sponsors
Know the price of our soul.
When Andy moves on
Whose skills rule our game?
Saw a bloke fits the bill
Lance Armstrong’s his name.
He’s always a winner
Seven titles in France,
He’ll deflate soccer’s tyres
Won’t give rugby a chance.
What’s that you say
He’s a bit of a louse?
We’ve sold our soul and our game
To Tom Waterhouse.
Speaking for me
Don’t care much for the Day,
It’s just when the Poms
Hid their convicts away.
I’ll wait ‘til there’s footy
To keep national spirit alive,
The Day that I cherish
April Twenty Five.
Don’t know if it’s Aussie
To decline a Macca’s,
I’ll just share a real burger
With the rest of the ‘Nackers.
Had a burger with the lot from the Birregurra General Store recently. A bun that was toasted, I mean, what is a burger if the bun isn’t toasted? Prime meat from the Otways that tasted like real meat, a decent rasher of bacon, a real egg, crisp lettuce, healthy slices of tomato and beet root all topped with a special homemade dressing. What more could you ask for! It was magnificent. I feel sorry for people who buy their burgers from Macca’s, they don’t know what they are missing out on. In fact Peter you have inspired me. I’ll make the effort and go to Birregurra on Oz Day and have a real burger!
Thanks Colin. Watched a fair bit of tennis yesterday, and that ‘faux Ocker’ McDonalds ad drove me crazy.
Talk about “patriotism is the last resort of the scoundrel.”
The Birregurra burger sounds genuinely Grand. Enjoy.
Make that two mine with bacon
Cheers
