Although of English pedigree
of colonisation I ardently disagree
The stiff upper lip and cup of tea
farcical ritual that makes me pee
Royalty so wrong as we pay a huge fee
they should all abdicate and set us free!
Australia should be a republic, let us be!
Separation from warmongers a vital key
Can back all this up with a uni degree
welcome debate of this claim with me
That picture was a while ago… I’m looking at some of those cars there. 🙂

That depends greatly on your point of view and how you measure it… A car travelling at 200mph can be moving backwards if you consider the spin of the Earth.

Very well said, Kate and for how long all this royalty. When do we leave this farcical life which is so much a delusion.

I live in Trafalgar Square,
With four lions to guard me.
Fountains and statues all over the place,
And The Metropole staring me right in the face!
I’ll own it’s a trifle draughty,
But I look at it this way, you see,
If it’s good enough for Nelson,
It’s quite good enough for me!
