Breaking news


from the ABC set Poetry

Sanctions have been imposed.

This is breaking news.

The sovereign republic of ‘bed’ has closed its borders, for now.

Nothing gets in and nothing gets out.

Recent cuts in defence spending have left the southern regions exposed to foreign influences and as a result my feet are cold.

Extremist and deviant revolutionaries are operating outside these majestic borders but we are confident, for the time being, that we can hold them off and stay true to the values upon which this fair republic was founded.

At least for another five minutes or so. Then I’ll get up and shower.

You efficiency and wit (presumably hand in hand when you talk as well) are to be admired. Loved the defence spending para.
