The Guides have a new showering law:
That mixed sexes may shower in the raw.
But should girls shower with guys
More than eyebrows may rise;
Such a sign would be hard to ignore.

The shadow lurks beneath your consciousness.
Go meet him, for he is your primal mate;
Engage with this dark archetype innate.
For your persona he could not care less,
And this he will quite willingly confess.
In order that you reach a stronger state
Your darkness and your light must integrate;
It isn’t wise, your shadow to suppress.
It’s best that you confront your darker side
To understand your capabilities
And realize potential waiting there.
Until you do, he deep within will hide,
While conscious self will try its best to please,
By being nice, agreeable and fair.

Unlike you appreciative Yanks,
Here in Oz we don’t give any thanks.
No duck and no turkey;
Not even beef jerky.
(I’m having mashed spud and lamb shanks.)

These attacks – they are not aberrations,
But the death throes of fiendish failed nations
With no care of the cost
For they know they have lost
In this clash of two civilizations.

Resourceful Lord Odysseus, pray tell –
What is your plan to cause the fall of Troy?
For as you know, the war does not go well;
What tactics are you seeking to employ?
What trickery, what subterfuge, what ploy,
Have you, clever Odysseus, designed?
What cunning plan? What means will you deploy?
Odysseus – what do you have in mind?
So spoke Odysseus: “Priam is blind.
Achaeans wait without, but safe within
Troy’s stout defences, patiently, our kind,
Who went there long ago and settled in,
Now wait, embedded – an imposing force;
I call these warriors my Trojan Horse.“

Bikers are hardly the norm.
In ranks and in columns they form.
These knights of the road
The establishment goad.
(Yet they all wear the same uniform.)

Where did my dingo go?
His name, my friend, was Ringo!
Now I’m feeling mighty low!
For a baby ate my dingo!
{To the tune of the chorus of “The Overlander”}

Gay marriage is coming – we’re saved!
Hats off to the heroes who’ve braved
All the nasty naysayers –
Damned conscience obeyers.
(Our religious rights we have waived.)

“Hey! – who the hell man are you?”
“Well I’m not a man – I’m Ja Du,
A cute Filipina;
(Though I have wiener)
See, nothing is now false……or true.”

“He’s not pregnant! – you can’t make us marry!”
“We are late for your wedding – don’t tarry!
Now it’s quite simple Fred,
You were caught in his bed,
And therefore you are marrying Gary.”
