GUESS WHAT I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS

Guess what I got for Christmas?

A Pukalooloo Pakeha’s New Year Wish


Choice Kiwi, excellent dude.
May your year be hunky dory
sweet as fish n chips with vegemite
and pavlova to follow

when you rattle your jandals may
all the hoons and boy racers pack
a sad and bugger off on a tiki tour
to the wop wops for yonks.

may your chilly bin be choc-a-bloc
with L&P, hokey pokey ice cream
and ice cold D.B. from sparrow fart
until the good-night kiwi calls.

Cheers Bro
