Australia: Better By Yards

Rating: 5.0


Because they speak in a different tongue,
neighbours are saying in it,
in their front yards,
'We love Australia
because we can say in our language
in our front yards
what we could never say in them at home.
Only being able to say in your homes
makes Australia Better By Yards.'

You got that down well Douglas. Good play on 'yards'. Going by my trips there, Australia is better by miles.
