There seems to have been an outbreak of friendliness in here lately

[lurker17260]

I'm liking it :-x

Maybe it's because of all the natural disasters going on atm people are less focused on petty little things? 

Whatever - it's nice 🙂

We think of thongs when things are thought,

But thongs are thought of lowly,

So when the thongs are things of thought

Then thongs are not so holy!

I'm not so good with poetry .. 😞

[tasfleur]

If snails had rails they would not slime,

They'd glide along quite fast,

Never getting caught at all,

Their rate of speed quite vast!

Sounded good to me Tas....

Thongs are an Aussie Icon

Which no-one can deny

They slip right on & slip right off

No shoelaces to untie

You can use em as a frisbie,

You can throw 'em to your dogs

Every Aussie has 'em

Their as Aussie as swimming Toggs

....next verse is up for grabs.....(Just don't mention the war) NI NI NI

[tasfleur]

Love it Cue ... very good ... "nake nake"

They stop you getting tinea

When using public showers

Though you need to watch for bee stings

When prancing through the flowers

At $3 from the junk shop

They are as cheap as chips

Or you can get some really posh ones

If you want some sparkly bits

[cueperkins]

Just don't expect them fancy thongs

To stand up to hard slog

If ya happen to step in brown stuff

Don't go blamin the dog. 

& there's a moral to this story

Always look before you leap

Cause the Aussie Thong won't save you

From getting Dog poo on your feet

[tasfleur]

They flip and flop all through the night

Like flapping rubber bands,

Those thongs are tough and very light

But still give you a fright

The toes are red the ankles hot,

Why do the feet go funny?

Is it because those strange flip flops

Make legs hop like a bunny?

[cueperkins]

I'm sorry Tas, they're not flip flops

& neither are they Jandals

They're Aussie Thongs, that's what they are

Don't go starting a scandal

Cause Ausies & Kiwis are notorious

For competing in everything

& the next thing ya know the esky

Will be renamed Chilly Bin (or Chully Bun)

Just take the humble Fish & Chips

They've flattened all the vowels

I've never heard of Fush & Chups

& it could be something fowl.

So let's just stick to Aussie Strine

Its the language We all know

& just a word of sound advice

DON'T EAT YELLOW SNOW !!!

Always look before you leap

Cause the Aussie Thong won't save you

From getting Dog poo on your feet

And neither will they save you

from the uncouth or the drunk

Cos men can't aim when sober

No myth there to debunk!

That brings us to the tourist

Who points and laughs and stares

But they're just bleedin' jealous,

Cos they don't own a pair..

[tasfleur]

Now Aussie thongs can't be so real,

As laces round the feet,

Creating lines and funny nails,

Like folks who live in Crete!

The Nords wear boots and things like that,

To stop their toes from yellowing,

But if they tromp up dale and hill,

It cause them much bellowing.

The snow is white, no doubt of that,

The ice is black and faulty,

But if you wear those Aussie thongs,

That point is moot and paltry ....  😛
