Hi Mave,

Can't agree; "All irrelevant to thinking Aussies." Thinking Australians spend a great deal of time deep in thought about head wear, that is an established fact (no need for debate). We don't have any bears in Aussie as such, but we do have koala's, sometimes erroneously refereed to as koala bears, by Japanese tourists and kiddies in kindy. I suggest at this time of national mortification, we have gone beyond grieving, and 25.5 million Australians are totally overcome by the sudden and unexpected death of Her Majesty at the age of 96. In a sign of reverence, let us slaughter all remaining koala (bears) and let politicians and other members of our Bunyip aristocracy take to wearing them on their heads for here on in, as sign of national something or other. Agree?

Agreed Paul

Methinks you've got something there.

Let our Parliamentarians march
In Koala skins stiff and starch
To pay homage to Hurley GG
Mounting a fetching Geegee
Or the sacred Nissan Cedric
The first Act of Republic

Foxy
OLO's favourite Moxy
Will come around
To the trumpet's martial sound
Like an Aussie Lady Godiva
Or a crack crazed rally driver

Amen

Joe Hildebrand has paraphrased Gough Whitlam with, 'God save the King' because nothing will save the rudderless and uninspired Australian Republican Movement'.

He says that, compared to the Monarchy, the republicans' chuntering is a "tepid alternative", effectively non-existent, and both "absurdly complex and vacuous at the same time"

Alert to non-Bonny King Charles' change of style, compared to his "Mummy".

Queensy Babe never acted like that - in public anyway.

Hi Mavers,

Foxy loves to go for rides
She loves the freedom they provide
But being naked on a horse
Isn't something she'd endorse.

King Charles is great at limo rides
With his Queen sitting by his side
He's not so good with leaking pens
Especially seen through a public lens.

Thanks Foxy

A fitting counter-verse.

Yee may be OLO's premier poet.
But I'm sneakin up - and yee know it :)

I have this theory Bonnie King Charlie hasn't had much sleep of late, so I for one, forgive im.

Cheers Mavers
