In bucketloads groomed dogs and cats
Cascaded on our cataracts
(a summer of cheap sunglasses –
our pupils sorely scorched!)
A call to arms by Weatherzone
suggests umbrellas rather than guns
Which months defy all Bondi reason?
This wretched saturation season!
City of Sydney’s “wishful thinking”
Isn’t in tune with Bazza’s taste
Chased away were elaborate dreams
of giant, bustling footpath streams
Thus timeless George is to remain
A classic of vehicular terrain
‘Smart’ design shan’t walk us through
Pedestrian strips with smog-free views
And as kids go, they need protection
Inflections in speech from screeching charities
make calls for higher standards
echo across children’s organisations
The gestation of this group’s call is still in early stages
Pages of history turn to dust on rusty government library shelves
(change is always slowest when we scrutinise ourselves)
