BOB TAYLOR Rockhampton, September, 1991 People's Proper PlacesThe Brewer should to Malta go,The boobies all to Scully. The Quakers to the Friendly Isles, The furriers off to Chile The little marching screaming babes, Who break our nightly rest, Should be packed off to Babylon To Lapland or to Brest. Spithead cooks go forth to Greece, And while the miser wants His passage to the Guinea Coast, Spendthrifts are in the Straits Spinsters should to the Needles go, Wine drinkers to Burgundy, Gourmands should lunch at the Sandwich Isles, Wags at the Bay of Fundy Bachelors to the United States Spinsters the Isle of Man. Let gardeners go to Botany Bay And shoe-blacks to Japan Thus immigrants and miss-placed men Would here no longer vex us And all who ain't provided for Had better go to Texas! |
