Poetry Prompt 48 – The Wrong Response- G’day!

write-a-poem-which-illustrates-a-time-you-gave-an-inappropriate-response

May I introduce Her Majesty?

G’day ya Madge, how’s it goin’ love?

The Prime Minister

Tony ya dopy bugger

How’s it hanging?

We like to be outrageous

Take the mickey out those

We consider being above us in station.

We’ve been doing it always

Never one’s for authority

We’ve shirt fronted many an official

Defied an order, antagonised officialdom.

An upper crust Englishman once objected

To being called a bastard on the cricket field.

The Australian who received the complaint

Turned to his team mates and declared,

Which of you bastards called this bastard a bastard?

We enjoy the element of irreverence

This prompt Pooky is a bewdy,

Ah grouse little pommy sheila!
