HA! I got a kick out of this one - after I read your "author's notes." This is definitely a cool poem with good intent. It is taken well and enjoyed very much, my friend.
Always wit respect,

At least I know what a banger is, we call them that, too. Nice to learn the Australian colloquialisms-happy Australia Day. Well chosen words, good touch of humour, fun poem. Faye

This is a fun read. I enjoy when people can make fun of their own culture and of themselves as well. Happy Aussie day and blessings from an American. Patricia

Bless you for trying to understand our second language. I hope you read my notes. We have a lot of fun in Oz. Cheers, Kay.
Comment from royowen
Well done Kay, I don't think anyone will understand! But you did your best about the explanation about Australia Day though, having been to other countries, they think we're likeable and quaint, they like us because we are really nobody's enemy, and everybody's friend, but well done, we had some damper, salad and shepherds pie, well done, blessings, Roy.

Comment from mumsyone
Happy Australia Day, Kay! Loved that Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi! Oi! Oi! when we first heard it at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. I recognize some of the other Aussie lingo too, though not all. Don't think I'd care for the cockroach races though! Beautiful presentation and poem.
Hugs,
Lois
