Long Elisa Poems

Addictions, restrictions, afflictions, decisions,
A needle, a bottle, step down hard on that throttle!

Beach, I went sunburnt,
Evidently, I learnt,
Across the road ,
Cantered cane toads, 
Henry thought it’s fine,
Bull mastiff Jerry Hog's,
Laugh's at every bodies dogs,

Kangaroos were banned,
Elisa sat and...
