KALEIDOSCOPE

Cock of the Walk

---

He comes from a land asunder

Where the Covid rules in big blunder!

Beneath veranda hair and fake tan

Lies the quintessential Stars and Stripy fake man.

---

He’s immune to truth and common sensing,

Has an interest in walls and wire fencing.

Who will save us from this bondage?

Might just as well eat a Vegemite sandwich!

---

So you’d better run, you’d better take cover.

Cockwomble sure ain’t our blood brother.
