She Ll Be Right

SHE’LL BE RIGHT

In the merry old land of Oz*
They’ve the secret of happiness ‘cos
They’ve a theorem for plight
Makes them soar like a kite
It’s this motto - SHE’LL BE RIGHT!

King Henry at Agincourt Field
Had a talent with words he would wield 
Might still inspire fight 
Make his army ignite
With this one liner - Mates SHE’LL BE RIGHT!

Were Churchill from Wagga Wagga **
He’d have written it as a blogger
Blood and tears day and night
Facing Germany’s might
With - ‘No worries! SHE’LL BE RIGHT!’

Should there be a border breach 
With a fight on Bondi Beach
Though an awful sight
And we’ve barbi tonight.  ***
Just remember - SHE’LL BE RIGHT!

Despite peril and confusion
Don’t crack brains with irresolution
Master clear, and then cite
This affirmative bright
The sure postulate - SHE’LL BE RIGHT!

* Oz = Australia
** pronounced Wogga Wogga
*** barbi = barbecue
