Expansive Expensive

Doggerel Dave


Notice of absence from Doggerel Dave
I do return sometimes... occasionally...

Something special just happened to Sydney -

It became the most expensive city

In the world to find shelter; you with me?

The world mark you; couldn’t be more shitty.

 

‘Greatest country in the world’ says our PM;

(He’s a well endowed property owner).

Perhaps accompanied with too much phlegm:

I only know there’s no greater downer:

 

For the homeless who can’t get out of town,

Patents in hospital – been there, just ask me.

Or those embroiled in a traffic meltdown

In this jewel of our paradise, Sydney.

  • Comment from author about the poem: So Australia the greatest country in the world, hey? Now I’m not going to argue it is anywhere near the worst, but what manner of complacency and delusion leads to a statement like that?
