When you start a greeting with hello or good day,
But you live in Australia; It isn't quite the way.
To get into the spirit, here’s a short quiz,
That will make you think about what a great country this is;
Let's start with Vegemite, an Australian classical delight,
How are you supposed to eat it? Not on a spoon, or even in one bite!
Another icon not to be missed, the golden meat pie
But without the tomato sauce, It is a reason to cry.
Hot summers on Bondi beach and sand in our hair,
Riding waves we teach, golden tans we flair.
Our amazing Aussie animals, Wombat, Koala and Kangaroo,
Never get into a fight with them, or you will sadly lose.
I hope that you have admired this Aussie debate,
Goodbye for now... And G'day mate!
