So the lamp’s on again - we’re about to be castigated
into supporting the idea an Australian Head of State’s
the only way we’ll be true to ourselves; cor blimey, it’s
nothing new is it - is anything gained by us remaining
part of an empty Empire - whether that is a statement
of fact jeering British heritage - whereas an Australian
Republic stands on its own merits and jeers back with
singular patios of our own multicultural menage
Having always been a Colonial never bothered me in
the least - until the realisation we’re different from our
Queen, yet she's seemed to represent us fairly & with
insuperable dignity we’re not exactly known for; okay,
if you can find a local replacement who’ll do as good
a job - then maybe it’s a tenable rearrangement
