Sign of the Times


MY WORLD
SIGN OF THE TIMES!

My World. Your World. The whole World over!
Remember how we lived in clover?
Remember how the money flowed?
So much was spent! So much was owed!
Then came the dreadful Credit Crunch,
While all our brains were 'out to lunch'!
Enlarge this sign and you will see
A token of our economy!
This is a School Hall being erected;
Government money being directed
To worthy projects such as this
So we don't fall in the abyss!
Just down the road I saw this sight,
And so it is 'My World' alright.
Australia managed pretty well,
But still we feel we cannot tell
When history will be repeatd
And common-sense again defeated.
My World. Your World. The whole World over!
Remember how we lived in clover?

OFF-COURSE OF COURSE!

Percy the Poodle was crossing the street,
Attached, of course, to a lead.
'Thought Percy 'Goody! There's a tree!
Exactly what I need!
I'm bursting to cock my back leg
And that tree will be just great!
And, while I'm about it, I'll have a sniff!
It might lead me to a mate!'
But what is this? His mistress has veered
Way off towards the right!
Did you see a poodle with his legs crossed?
Not a pretty sight!
