I seek a little inspiration:
What to say about this Nation?
Sports-mad, with temperatures extreme
Life here is a curdled dream.
Adelaide has endless space,
Its one-storied homes - sans grace;
Vast supermarkets, rare small shops
Washing hung outside soon rots!
I’ve now had time to check things out
A friendly bunch - of that no doubt!
With constant sunshine, rare are frowns;
Graceful, lofty trees – bird sounds…
This island, washed by five large seas
Still celebrates with morning teas
Recalling long-lost English past
Though multi-cultural at last!
To European eyes – too new
Its Aborigines – too few
Its emphasis on sales – too great;
In short, a modern-outlook State!
