Yay for Australia

7:30 pm general chit chat

Things are looking up
By Howie

I awoke in the night with a sinking feeling
my apartment had fallen through my neighbours ceiling.
I looked out the window to see the ground rising
The whole apartment building seemed to be diving.

I turned on the television to see the news channel
my apartment was now part of the lane cove tunnel
A quick way to the city through my underground drag
the problem being I haven’t registered for e-tag

The next day I was late to work due to the traffic
My employer fired me, saying “you don’t fit our demographic”
Apparently overnight the PM changed some workplace laws
So now my job security has gone due to a new sub clause

Down in the dumps I fell into depression
Shaving became a chore that moved into a facial recession
Apparently overnight the PM changed some ASIO laws
No longer beards shall be accepted on these shores

Detained without reason I was raided in the night
My family was not told and I refused to contrite
The media was told that terror I had planned
Because of a long beard I was a persecuted man

Next week I have to appear in an immigration court
I have breached my visa so next an upcoming deport
Back to a nation where human rights are a un heard of
Australia was a refuge, I was expecting brotherly love

but things are looking up
