The Great Divide

They ventured ‘cross the great divide
Akubras, mole skins ‘lackey sides
.govaustralia drought relief
a few quick speeches
home for tea

Unaware knives honed whilst
.govoutback@reliefs convene
Too little Too late, sorry mate👎
RM Williams polished boots
don’t cut it here with off pat speech❗️
Knives came later, winging in
blue mountain ranges insulate
the needs of needy left behind
with reams of droughtstock.

govaus forms to sign,
while livestock starve
and Burrumbuttock truckies run,
donated hay Australia wide👍

Tomorrow’s news sees Spill release,
Dutton’s not quite across the crease🤨
And Turnbull gathers his reserves
n crows how Aussies help their mates.

Too little, Too late, Sorry mate👎
