the truck that delivers
the newspapers to our town
earlier this morning had
a major break down
something went wrong
with the truck's gear box
and as a consequence
we'll have to get
our news off Fox
but nothing is as nice
as leafing through
the paper at lunch
especially reading the adverts
put in by the buying and selling bunch
here in the bush
we do so like
our Northern Daily Leader rag
for it is a paper which is full
of all the local brag
but unfortunately
it didn't arrive in town to-day
would seem the news
wont be heading our way
it is so disappointing
to have to watch those stooges
reading the bulletin on the telly
their delivery gives us
an almighty pain in the belly
hopefully the truck
will be back on the road by Wednesday
for not having a newspaper
fills us with dismay
