Hi Sankey, this made me laugh out loud and it's so true, probably everywhere in the world. Spot on. You're touching a sore point with so many. Very well written. All the best. Ulla:))

Comment from Irish Rain
We could certainly sing this here too, ha ha. Guess it's a global song, because I don't think the bureaucrats are much use anywhere, ha ha. Very clever, blessings....

I enjoyed your poem "Government Grief" as I sung alone with the tune. Your rhyming was spot on.
Best of luck.

Thanks Marybell, have we met before? Your name looks kinda familiar but I am not sure I have fanned ya yet. Will certainly look for your stuff as I believe strongly in reciprocation with other FS Members' stuff. I nearly pulled the plug on this place but my name ran out before I was ready to leave so signed up for another 2 years cos not much more than 1. Cheers.

I do not remember you. I have only been a member since Jan. this year.

OK No worries I promise I will check your stuff. I recently completed a Revive Certificate review of my biography for the chapters I could.

Hi Geoff, so far behind on my reviews. I feel like I'll never catch up. I enjoyed reading. The government and pooh do go together like a hand and a glove. I'm not a huge fan of the corruption and lies.

Yeah well Sis another thing America and Australia have in common. Poohey Governments. Hope you liked the old tune. I was think of adding harmony but it kind of goes ok on its own. Too hard for the other.
-
I was hoping yours wasn't like that. Corruption seems to run with the word politics.
-
Yeah well figure it out, when you have a former Journo as your country's leader of a supposedly Conservative Govt...ie we all know Journo's are decidedly LEFT in their views...meaning opposite to conservative!
Comment from Ben Colder
Snazzy little tune. I was thinking about how now brown cow. The poor old ship has lost its rudder,
The system is bursting like old Bessie's udderÂ
'N we'll all be better off when the Bureaucrats get the boot.
LOL.

Thanks new friend pretty sure we have met before. Hope you liked my arrangement of 'When Johnny Come Marching Home!"
Comment from royowen
I like this witty little ditty Geoff, it fits the tune of "When Johnny comes marching home" perfectly" I suppose if there's one department we all hate the most it's going to be the tax department? They tell me it's the one that is reasonably efficient. Well done, Bro, blessings, Roy

Thanks Bro Glad you liked it. I struggled to get the metre right with my arrangement and I did intend to add harmony but I decided the melody sounds good enough on its own.

Well done Geoff
Comment from apky
I liked the music and wondered if it was you playing my friend.
>>'N we'll all be better off when the Bureaucrats get the boot.<< made me really laugh hard. That book of yours must be hilarious, I imagine.
Thanks for posting it.
