What You Need To Know About New Zealand
In New Zealand,
Even the rich have few servants,
We are a nation that expects one to serve oneself.
Our idea of rich,
Is to own your own home,
With barbecue space out the back,
And a nice car in the garage.
Most of us consider servants,
More trouble than they are worth,
We may have a cleaner in once a week,
Or is often the case, once a fortnight,
Which is about as far as it goes here.
So, if your idea of rich,
Is measured by the number of servants,
And yes, people around you,
Don't expect too many invites,
From many on our rich list.
Do it yourself is our motto,
Always has been,
And hopefully will stay that way.
We will help you get over yourself,
But be aware,
That we only serve ourselves,
And those who help them self.
