I dunno what’s worse      
being beat 40 – zip       
in the NRL* Grand Final       
(and coppin’ it sweet) or       
beatin’ th’ gums to pulp       
on radio over an Artist       
feller wantin’ t’ take       
pictures of schoolkids       
in th’ nude       
some 15 months ago 
all I know is –      
Melbourne’s involved 
seems unsublimated      
wounded pride       
excess of hot air       
or illogic and unfettered       
paedophilic imaginings  
is the consensus behaviour       
down there
