    Our Fuschia.

    “How’s the Fuschia lookin’, Rosey?”
    “Your Fuschia’s lookin’ flash –
    Come over to the window,
    Watch the peasant’s fight for cash.”

    Meski, Yes,

    I did notice, but it’s importance eluded me until I remembered that the Vogons destroyed the Earth in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

    So, apt – not strong enough, but will have to do for now.

    ……. “Don’t you get too close now,
    And don’t lean on the glass…..
    Gosh! I thought I’d locked that!
    Now she’s fallen on the grass!”

    Our Future’s Looking Dim?
    “So money cant buy everything –
    And I hate sound ungallant –
    If this is the best that she can do
    It certainly can’t buy talent.”

    Meski, is that pig irony running through her verse?

    In anticipation of Mrs Rinehart’s next opus we’ll have to steel ourselves.

    GINA RHINE MAIDEN: Honey, your prose stinks. And “”Special economic zones””
    sounds like a euphemism for seceding from Oz.

    “The world’s poor need our resources. Do not leave them to their fate.” Ha! By the time you lot have gouged them out-and sold them at give away prices-they’ll be history; finito, empty, kaput.

    It is passing strange how the mining giants are almost always adult hoons. Or, in your case; a Rhinestone, through and through. TPT*. You wish to control power, but you can’t even control your own weight.

    *Trailer Park Trash.

    She sounds lonely and a bit rusty Zut; ore I could be mining my own business and stop digging for dirt.

    Lady miner at the keyboard
    Talkin’ bout the fuchsia; scary.
    Demanding workers for her zone
    Expectation is she’ll whine and moan.

    Lady miner at the keyboard
    Yes she had a small epiphany.
    The money that she got
    Could be increased by quite a lot

    Just the way that her hair fell down around her face
    And I recall her father’s grace
    Another time, another place.

    You mean multiculturalism is about Billionaires increasing profits by skimming off trained labour from second and third world countries instead of paying to train locals? Here I was thinking it was about Good Food and loving, caring Niceness.
