In Time For Your Brekkie

Preamble

No I don't eat MacDonalds for brekkie

 

His grammar is hopeless

The Queen says he's dense

"He's only an Aussie"

Which explains it, makes sense

 

He seems to use me

A lot as his voice

But what can I say?

I don't have no choice

 

He sends words of wisdom

Grammatical or not

Wired up from Down Under

Off the press, (hot)

 

In time for your brekkie

With nonsensical verse

At times I do wonder

Can it get any worse?

 

PostScript

Wake up folks. 7.57am. Brekkie time! Forgot. New Years Day.  Back to sleep

"Kedgeree" ? Never had it...so good! (as Private Eye liked to misquote Super-Mac back in the day). Sounds like a song by
Frank Ifield. ?
