TSK !
naughty girls
early convicts
welcoming the new vicar
the initial beginnings
of aussie irreverence
disrespect for authority
a cultural hallmark still
existing today
although
these days the girls don't bare their bums
they give the middle finger instead
not qute as effective
CINQUAIN
sometimes
methinks we lose
our past and become more
bland and politically correct
pity
Oh, come now! The middle finger salute is hardly either bland or politically correct. Though I admit the mooning is funnier. I love our Aussie larrikin spirit and anti-authoritarianism. May we continue to laugh inappropriately at it's naughty manifestations!
ReplyDeleteHmmm ..Mooning in Murwillumbah...good title for a poem:)
DeleteI'm trying to guard against the bland .... cheers.
ReplyDeleteLol I just heard recently about mooning lol Some kiwies here apparently still do it lol
ReplyDeleteThe middle finger episode is a recent phenomena which is acceptable to tone down frustrations. Good write Rall!

Mooning is funnier, but the middle finger has its uses.
