National emblem

Poor old skippy
in tatters
national emblem
of a nation
too ancient
too red
too vast
too hot

skin cancered
fully clothed too late
crippled by white appendages
on fluro fake grass
from somewhere else
all the didgeridoos
chopped up for firewood

Struth what anti tourist terrorist
let this out of the bag?
rewind to beer beach and barbecue
serious summer surfing
watermelon mangoes and lamingtons
the more appealing
face of the nation.
