Introduction

I read the harrowing headline England has Foot 'n Mouth Disease, my thoughts were "That's old news"

Foot in Mouth Disease

I have read the papers and seen it on the news
The whole Pommy nation has fallen in the blues!
They've spent a billion big ones to try and stop the spread
Of a terrible disease the Foot in Mouth dread.

If they'd have asked us Aussies we'd have given it to them straight
But they would not have listened, for this truth they have much hate.
Australia has been pestered for many hundred's o' years
From this deadly Pommy curse, of thickness between the ears.

It has no regard for borders and this to you I'll prove
That the disease Foot in Mouth is in Oz. and on the move.
There have been many outbreaks out across our sweet home ground
With Car and Property Salesmen and the Politicians that run around.

I have always taken precautions on leaving car yards and offices
To scrape my boots and remove the goo that comes out of their speaking orifice's.
It might even be too late, I could have it and don't know it!
I guess my chances are high enough because I am a Poet.
