The quintessential Aussie experience:
A meat pie with tomato sauce 
in one hand and a cold beer in the other 
At the Aussie Rules Football finals with your brother
And every man and his dog.
Cheers crooned from the crowd,
‘Carn the Lions! ‘Carn the Swanies!
“Carn the pies! ‘Carn the doggies!
Which way will it go,
No one knows.
That's the thrill, that's the chase,
That's what it means to be Aussie in case!
Australia had the AFL Grand Final yesterday, the streets were quiet as everyone was glued to their TV, device or in their local pub cheering with a brood of others. Brisbane Lions won even after the Sydney Swans were on top of the ladder for most of the season.

With a roll of an English tongue
We pay tribute
to Maggie Smith, from Downton.
She was a rare breed,
The last of the ton
Playing around with Harry
And in a dear Sister Act a nun!
Bravo old Dame,
your efforts were not in vain!

Life is full
Of contradictions.
Embrace them all,
Or you will get bitter,
**** them dry
Til you are sweet!

Hopeful waiting versus
Begrudgingly waiting,
It takes the weight off,
While you wait.

Lean in, more deeply,
When your instinct is to pull back (retreat/run).
Suspend your doubt,
When survival kicks in.
This path is known (well-trodden), and
It always ends with (in) love.

Don't we live in a world
that is round? Why then,
do we say: "They came
from all the corners of the earth?"
Question everything, now that's sound!
Bekah Halle Sep 26
Larks of joy sound,
Use the key and unlock thee,
My heart of love resounds
That you would hear my call and see.
