Australia

In this land with poets of old they told of legends of old men from snowy rivers, the struggles in the bush, the wildlife the cooks the shearers the farmers doing it tough the sunburnt country lands of flooding plains, the women the men the kids the working family, the wars the tradgedies that gave this land australia great fame. So now of whom do we write the trudging quiet people the hungry masses, the tireless workers who work for charity, the men from snowy river changed to skiing snow bunnies who listen to snow reports, huddled round pit fires indoors after a hard days ski hardly the stuff of mountain men who live and ride in high country. Sunburnt country put on the spf15+ unless you want melanoma not quite a poetic rhetoric, I love a sunburnt country I don't need my my land burnt and scorched, my skin don't need to look like crisp fried bacon, the land of flooding plains we love so much drowns so many when a deluge drowns my land, it is rich in alluvial and red soil and deserts that have as yet remained unsoiled. Its suburbia that remains untold the chatter the streets the everyday soap oporatatic  drama that australians live everday. The mums who get up at the crack of dawn an army of breakie makers boiling jugs hobs and kettles,
Popping toast and breakfast tarts of toasted crumpets muffins with jam mum yelling down the hall whaddya want on your toast today? Cornflakes weetbix and cocoa pops juice water making coffee and tea yelling at you to turn the t.v. off get dressed were bloody late get away from that heater pack your schoolbag. Mums in dressing gowns get a bad rap. Tiptop sunblest buttercup of course meadow lea congratulations you've made another breakie add choice. Brush your hair brush your teeth, get em to christ at this rate they won't get there till next week. So when you see mum slumped in a chair cradling her coffee know she earned it poor bastards still has to do the washing, then there's the dishes the floors walls and toilet doors. When you get home take her a posy. Sunburnt country put on a hat stick onthe zinc cream before you pick up the cricket bat. Great outdoors take the mozzie zapper spots and scratches aeroguard is a solution to mozzies vampire bite they'll go at you even after you switch out the light. Now its time to say goodnight
