MONDAY MAYHEM

asks us about our local forecast.

LOCAL FORECAST

Our weather forecast tells us 'squalls';

It's the time of year when cold rain falls.

And if the sky should sometimes clear,

It still declares that winter's here,

Because the wind blows cold and shrill

To tell us that it's winter still.

Here, in Sydney a crowd has formed,

Sheltering under umbrellas  (warmed),

To see the Light Show that entrances,

Attracting many admiring glances;

One of the 'cheer-up' shows designed

To make the season seem less unkind.

In Parliament it will be squally too;

Our Politicians take the view

That all we want to hear are rows,

Every insult the law allows!

We're heartily sick of their back-stabbing,

Disagreeing, attention-grabbing.

Winter will end, we'll have warmth, not chill,

But bitter political-speak never will!

CRUEL COLOUR!

Some may consider this 'oh so cute!'

But I simply don't agree.

This isn't a pretty picture!

It's an act of cruelty!

A wolf is a noble creature

Living grandly in the wild,

But descendents of his species

Are regularly defiled.

The very shape of this poodle

Is proof of manipulation.

And the multi-coloured bits-and-bobs

Are just a humiliation.

Did anyone ask this dear little dog

If the dye got in his eyes?

Did anyone take any notice

Of his heartfelt whimpering cries?

And when he's paraded for pleasure

(Our pleasure and not his)

Will he have the slightest idea

Of what a Dog Show is?

The colours are vibrant and pretty;

Oh yes, I'll grant you that.

But all pets should be honoured;

Yes, every dog and cat.

I'm not an animal lover;

I haven't even got a pet.

But the sight of this poor little poodle

Is something I wont forget.
